The Innocent and the Beautiful
A true story of love, death, and survival
-
A life can change in a second. 'The Innocent and the Beautiful' is a deeply moving true story of love and tragedy, of injustice and the courage to endure. In 1981 Alan Atkinson took his perfect family on holiday to Florida. As night fell in the Everglades another driver, drink in hand, reversed directly in front of the family's rental car... and in an instant Alan lost his beautiful wife and three wonderful children. Beginning in the early 1960s, 'The Innocent and the Beautiful' tells of Alan and Adrienne's romance, of their family, and of how after their deaths Alan struggled with the American legal system to find justice, ultimately rebuilding his life and finding love again, but never quite peace.
