The Story of a Lifetime

During Georgia's "Freedom Summer" of 1964, Boston journalist Laura Stainsby goes undercover as a nanny in Southeast Georgia to investigate a grudge-match US Congressional election between widowed plantation owner Patrick O'Grady II and wealthy Cadillac dealer, "Big Billy" Berens III. 


The line between truth and justice becomes a tightrope when a century-old family secret threatens Georgia's most prominent family, forcing Laura to choose between the story of a lifetime—and justice. Patrick O'Grady II has avoided his family's political legacy to manage historic Langesford Plantation and raise his six-year-old daughter Danielle. When his father's sudden death forces Patrick to run for his office, the campaign turns ugly and everything he holds dear is threatened. Can he trust the reporter who lied her way into his life to help him save an innocent man from a lynch mob, solve a murder, and preserve his family's two hundred-year-old legacy?
