WHO: During the mid-twentieth century, in the rural south of Chatham County, Pittsboro, North Carolina, Pauline Darnell Shore, a young woman pregnant and with six children at home finds herself trapped in an abusive and dangerous marriage with Clyde Findell Shore. Despite her attempts to seek help at the Sheriff’s Office falling on deaf ears, the choice Pauline is about to make may free them from death — but will it cost her everything else?
Clyde Jeanette Shore, named after her father and paternal grandmother, favors being called Jeanette. She grew up on a tobacco farm situated on Chicken Bridge Road, located in Chatham County. The fourth of seven siblings, Jeanette was able to venture away from her rural American lifestyle after graduating high school to attend the Business College at Chapel Hill.
Retired, she currently resides in Greensboro, North Carolina, and shares a loving relationship with her daughter, and family.
