Family man Jack Hall has found himself on the fault line where black meets white in the American South of the late 1950's. Still reeling from an explosive confrontation that put his family in jeopardy (detailed in Richard Doster's first book, Safe at Home ), Jack takes a job with the Atlanta Constitution . He's introduced to legendary editor Ralph McGill, an outspoken opponent of segregation who promptly sends Jack to Montgomery to investigate reports of a bus boycott. There Jack meets another man on the fault line: Martin Luther King Jr. Profoundly moved by King's commitment to Christian philosophy, Jack's writing begins to reflect a need for racial equality and tolerance that isn't always well received-even by his own wife. Jack covers stories from Little Rock to Nashville, about Southerners from Orval Faubus to Jim Johnson, and from music pioneer Sam Phillips to literary giants Flannery O'Connor and Harper Lee. But historic events sweep Jack and his son into harm's way. Will this be the collision that destroys his family forever?
