Esther's Premonitions
Jennie's daughter, my grandmother, Esther, had a sixth sense about death and disaster. The death of her young husband, my grandfather Harlan Whitacre, echoed down through the generations as a game-changing event for our family. As this section goes on to tell, Esther had these clairvoyant experiences all her life. She always downplayed them, and we'd sort of grimly laugh over them. But we paid attention!
Book Excerpt
The Elk in the Glade
Then one day Harlan was rushed to the hospital with appendicitis. He survived the operation just fine. He was only twenty-eight years old, after all. After a week of bed rest, not allowed to get up at all, he was ready to go home. Esther and Jennie went home to get lunch and were about to return for him when the phone rang.
“Mother, please get that. It’s the hospital and Harlan has died.”
Jennie had heard these kinds of things from Esther before. She walked to the phone and picked up the earpiece. It was the hospital. Indeed, Harlan was gone.
