Family man Jack Hall wants nothing more than to be a respectable newspaper reporter, see a good baseball game now and agian, love his wife, and watch his son grow up in their middle-class, white community. Then he finds 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 Alanta Constitution and moves his family south. He’s thrilled when 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 ordinary man on the fault line: Martin Luther King Jr. Profoundly moved by Kings commintment to Christian philosophy, Jack’s writting begins to reflect a need for racial equality and tolerance that isnt’ always well recieved–even by his own wife.

Once agian, historic events sweep Jack–and his idealistic son, Chris–inton harm’s way. Will this be the collision that detroys his family forever?

Richard Doster will give us a different perspective to ponder in this interview.
