NORTHEASTER A Story of Courage and Survival in the Blizzard of 1952

On February 17-18, 1952, a blizzard occurred in New England that dropped 30 inches of snow into the state of Maine, then blew it into 20-foot-high drifts. Narrator Morgan Bailey Keaton gives listeners a bird's-eye view of the effect this deluge had on the lives of many different people before the dawn of sophisticated weather equipment. Keaton gives an outstanding performance using emotions that audiences would not expect to hear in a true account of this disaster. She performs the dialogue of each character and captures the urgency and pain of Mainers as they hope against hope that they'll all stay safe from the monster storm. It's a compelling story that may remind some New Englanders of their experiences in '78. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2023]
