Second Glance: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

This breathtaking novel from #1 NY Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult asks: Do we love across time, or in spite of it?

“Sometimes I question….May a ghost find you, if she wants to?”

An intricate story of love, haunting memories, and renewal, Second Glance begins in current-day Vermont, where an old man puts a bit of land up for sale and unintentionally raises protest from the neighborhood Abenaki Indian tribe, who insist it’s a burial surface. When unusual, supernatural events plague the town about Second Look: A Book of Comtosook, a ghost hunter is hired by the developer to greatly help convince the residents that there’s nothing at all spiritual about the house.

Enter Ross Wakeman, a suicidal drifter that has place himself in mortal danger over and over. He’s driven his car off a bridge right into a lake. He’s been mugged in NEW YORK and struck by lightning in a calm country field. Yet despite his greatest efforts, life clings to him and pulls him ever deeper in to the bare lifetime he cannot bear since his fiancée’s loss of life in a car crash eight years ago. Ross today lives only for the moment he might once more encounter the woman he loves. But in Comtosook, the just finding Ross can lay claim to is usually that of Lia Beaumont, a skittish, inexplicable woman who, like Ross, is definitely on a seek out something beyond the boundary separating lifestyle and death. Therefore starts Jodi Picoult’s enthralling and ultimately astonishing tale of love, destiny, and a criminal offense of passion.

Hailed by critics as a “master” storyteller (The Washington Post), Picoult once more “pushes herself, and therefore the reader, to think about the unthinkable” (Denver Post). Second Glance, her eeriest and most engrossing function yet, delves into a virtually unknown chapter of American history-Vermont’s eugenics task from the 1920s and 30s-to give a compelling study of the things that get back to haunt us-literally and figuratively. Do we like across period, or regardless of it?
