(Isstories Editorial):- Portland, Oregon Nov 27, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – Kent Handy announces the release of his gripping true crime memoir, The Dark Secrets of Woodruff County: A Search for Justice, a harrowing account of a decades-long pursuit for truth, accountability, and closure. More than a memoir, the book stands as a testament to resilience and the unbreakable determination of a man fighting to expose a buried truth.
A True Story Hidden for Decades
Handy’s book uncovers the shocking circumstances surrounding the murders of five innocent children in the deep South–four of whom were his siblings, and the fifth his 16-year-old cousin. The memoir exposes how race-motivated hatred and systemic corruption led to a coordinated cover-up involving the fire marshal, local police, county coroner, and pathologist. For 41 years, the truth was concealed, while a grieving family sought answers.
