THE WITNESSES

Narrator Heath McClure's steady pace captures characters, time periods, and dual storylines that address spiritual issues, difficult choices, and life-altering decisions. North Carolina attorney Parker House has inherited his grandfather's ability to prophetically see future events. His German grandfather, a former Nazi army officer known as "The Aryan Eagle," used his prophetic ability to aid the Nazis in WWII. Now an old man, he struggles with remorse, guilt, and the need for forgiveness. McClure's portrayal of Layla, Parker's new love interest, is entertaining and authentic. The stranger looking for "Hauptmann Haus" adds an element of suspense. The best aspect of McClure's performance is his warm delivery of the friendly banter between 82-year-old Frank and his longtime fishing buddy, Lenny, in this powerful story of redemption.
