About this ebook
A tragic murder, a wrongful conviction, and the long fight for justice.
The evening of April 12, 1979, forever changes two families when Dr. Ronald Banks is murdered. Fighting Time tells the story of the aftermath, focusing on Isaac Knapper, a sixteen-year-old wrongfully convicted of the crime and sentenced to life in Angola prison.
Decades later, Dr. Banks's daughter, Amy, a psychiatrist, confronts her family's trauma and seeks answers. This is a story of injustice, resilience, and the search for truth. Readers interested in true crime, social justice, and personal stories of overcoming adversity will find this a gripping and heartbreaking account. Can Amy and Isaac find peace, or will the past continue to define their future?
