All Booked Up specializes in the resale of gently used books, DVDs and video games. We support our community and local authors by hosting book events to meet, discuss and enjoy each other's experiences in a relaxed and inviting setting.
Peak City Publishing, LLC, co-located with All Booked Up in historic downtown Apex, is pleased to provide the marketing for this event. Peak City Publishing, LLC, a North Carolina company, was established in January of 2010 to become the premiere publisher of choice for aspiring authors.
Byron Pitts seemed destined for failure. Diagnosed as functionally illiterate at age 12, he spent summers in a single parent home in Apex and struggled with stuttering. And even after he overcame that and entered Ohio Wesleyan University, Pitts had a professor tell him he should quit because he wasn't cut out for college.
For all that, today Pitts is one of the most accomplished journalists in America - Chief National Correspondent for the CBS Evening News and a Contributing Correspondent for "60 Minutes." All it took was an immense amount of hard work and faith, aided by the kindness of strangers. Today he's a successful reporter and family man.
Pitts will tell his story and talk about his new book, "Step Out on Nothing: How Faith and Family Helped Me Conquer Life's Challenges" (St. Martin's Press, 304 pages, $24.99) at the Halle Cultural Arts Center of Apex.
This event is co-sponsored by the Wake County Eva Perry Regional Library.
