About "The Book Keepers"
Carol Wall's debut memoir, Mister Owita’s Guide To Gardening, about cancer, friendship, and cultivating an open heart, was a breakout success. But joy turned to tragedy when the breast cancer she wrote about returned, and she died months after its publication. The movie follows her husband, Roanoker Dick Wall, who is determined to keep his late wife’s dream alive by becoming her unlikely spokesperson on tour for her critically acclaimed book.
