Episode Details

Episode 6 discusses Chapter 2, Annie's Granddaughter.

The scene opens in 1997-- this is 82 years after the Eastland Disaster of 1915. When we meet the protagonist, Zara Vrabel, she is asleep--literally and figuratively. Since a career as a professional somnambulist wasn't viable, she staggered through each day. However, she's about to get an epic wake-up call when she learns of her family's tragic history. 

We'll explore other topics too. For example, what do three seemingly disparate works-- the classic horror film, The Mummy (1932), the popular TV series Charmed (1998-2006), and my book, Flower in the River--have to do with one another? You'd be surprised. I know I was.

And you'll also meet some new characters in this chapter, including a guy who may be the world's only Slovak-Rusyn Singing Cowboy! 

So come along as we explore the intricate, messy web of connections between past and present and discover the deep insights they offer into the eternally mysterious human condition. Let's dive in!
