In the South Strand area along the coast of South Carolina, there is a ghostly legend of a Grey Man who appears to locals and vistors to warn of impending hurricanes. The first sighting of Grey Man occurred in 1822 on the beach of a small community named Pawleys Island. A young man named Will falls in love with his cousin, Rachel during the Revolutionary War period. Their love is dissolved by family conflict and the realities of war. Their hope of reuniting is dashed until one fateful day when a hurricane attacks the Carolina coast. With a deadly storm approaching, can Will save Rachel's life or is it too late for them both?
- Book Review: Ashley Daniels-Owner of AD Agency-Grand Strand Magazine Dec/Jan 2023- 'The Ghost of Alice' "Vernon masterfully recreates the legend of Alice Flagg. The complicated drama, a blend of fact and fiction, is one fit for film."
