He wrote two novels and won the most prestigious literary award in the country, not to mention a prize of 125,000 in gold coins. Hollywood had decided to make a mini-series based on his books. He had a beautiful wife and a big, loving family. They lived in a lovely home on a lake in rural South Carolina. It seemed like a perfect life. But one night changed everything. Harrys life turned upside down. Can he start over at this point in his life? Can he expect a new life after 70? This is a story about one man who refused to surrender.
