The Story

In 1968, oil erupts out of a Texas field exactly where Doc Anderson's bleeding hands said it would — and reporter Penny Brown gets six days to tell Chattanooga whether its hometown seer is a miracle or a fraud. Door by door, witness by witness, she assembles a man who refuses to stay in either column: the coal-camp boy who saw his brother die five thousand miles away, the Roman-style bullfighter, the healer, the psychic who warned of Memphis two days early and was filed under the horoscopes. Every proof she finds has a counter-proof. Every fraud has a miracle attached. Told across two timelines — her investigation and the flooded morning twelve years later when Doc's story finally ends where he always knew it would — Visions of Doc is a Southern Gothic true legend about the one verdict the evidence allows: he can only be witnessed.
