Each fragment of memory produces a vivid kaleidoscope of color as Bill Stegall traces his life journey from sharecropper’s son to CEO of his own company.

Growing up in Bear Swamp on the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains during the Great Depression, he portrays with razor-thin accuracy the poverty and violence of the times.

Stegall’s deep desire for an education, his miraculous survival in World War II, and his persistent goals toward personal and spiritual success all combine to provide an indelible picture of The Boy From Bear Swamp.
