SECOND GLANCE

Ghosts, genetics, eugenics, and love combine to create an unforgettable story exquisitely narrated by George Guidall. The sprawling story, complex plot, and numerous characters flow effortlessly into the listener's imagination through Guidall's seamless rendering. Ross Wakeman, a ghost hunter and unsuccessful suicide, falls in love with Lia, only to discover she had been murdered more than seventy years in the past. Her story is linked to the Vermont eugenics project in the 1930s that nearly eradicated the Abenaki, who are now claiming that spirits are responsible for the strange happenings in the town of Comtosook, such as the ground freezing in August and rose petals raining from the air.
