Author Stephen Ramey Glines's New Audiobook, "Poplar Hill," is a Thrilling Tale About the Life and Death of an Eccentric Old Lady, Self-Exiled to Rural Canada

Littleton, MA, February 21, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Stephen Ramey Glines has completed his new audiobook, “Poplar Hill”: a compelling tale that tells the story of Kitty Stevenson, an elderly woman who, realizing she is about to die, tells her life to one of her only neighbors she can trust, telling her tale of survival and strength in the face of insurmountable odds.

“She was cold, she was alone, and she knew she was going to die,” writes Glines. “In the middle of an epic ice storm, Kitty Stevenson, an eccentric old woman, self-exiled to rural Canada from New York society, realizes that she is having a heart attack. She had survived Nazi Germany – she can survive this too. Her neighbors mount a heroic effort to save her. She lives to tell her tale of self-reliance, incredible wealth, poverty, and escape on the eve of a World War. Kitty is ultimately confronted by what she perceives as a personal moral failure.

“A strong character, Kitty Stevenson is molded by the Depression and toughened by an intense encounter with Nazi Germany. In the end, she has only one story left to tell: a tale of murder. But, ‘It was war, damn it, it was war.’”
