It was the Autumn of 2019 and time slowed down in Norway, Maine. People on the streets were talking about a body found in the yard of a rural residence just outside of town that belonged to Vernelle Jackson. Little was known or understood about what had happened. Gary Hardcastle and I decided to drive up there and see what we could discover.
A moment on the streets of Norway.
What we found that day led to phone calls and road trips and ultimately an unexpected story about friendship and a promise. I don’t want to say more because if you are in North Carolina, I encourage you to go listen to this and other stories at Audio Under the Stars. The festival will be in Pittsboro on September 23rd and Durham on October 14th. Come lay back, put your head on the earth, and take part in the first collaborative audio storytelling magic this festival has conjured since the pandemic began. Thank you Audio Under the Stars for bringing us together!
