Salt of the Earth: Portland

A widowed pastor, Ben Dawson, takes a bullet from an assault rifle triggered by an anti-abortion protester at a women's health clinic. Unexpected events thrust him into the national spotlight. Colorful characters, including a brilliant and glamorous woman, are influenced by Ben's local progressive church, where people of all spiritualities find purpose and meaning. The story weaves in romance, adventure on the high seas, and a sensational dog. Salt of the Earth sheds light on social issues such as women's reproductive rights, addictions, gun violence, wealth distribution, and gender equality. Villains plot to bring heroes down. Who will prevail? From Salt of the Earth: "The alarm went off at 6:00 a.m. Why do I do this?" Ben thought. "I promised her I would take her to the clinic today. I’m the only friend who knows her story. She can’t take a cab there. Megan is alone and scared. I would rather do anything but get this involved, but here I am. The last time I asked God how I could help, I ended up living next to a dump in the Philippines. Now, I guess there’s a woman who needs some support."
