STORYTELLERS OF THE SOUTH
Small Towns With Powerful, Far-reaching Stories: LORAINE DESPRES, RONLYN DOMINGUE, RIVER JORDAN, MICHAEL MORRIS, and
KATHY
PATRICK as Moderator. |

An inspiring story based on Tim McGraw's number one hit song, "Live
Like You Were Dying."
When workaholic Nathan Bishop faces a terminal illness the world that
he has carefully crafted comes crashing down. When the job he thought
that only he could do is taken by someone else, Nathan finds himself
right back where he started: in the small Georgia town that he fought
to escape. There his grandmother and wife struggle to guide him
back to a relationship with his estranged father. It is only when the
two men leave Choctaw, Georgia and set off on a driving trip out West that they
find the pieces to their broken past.
