Grace Metalious would've turned 80 this week if she hadn't died at age 39. Her novel, Peyton Place, created a furor and set records for sales in the 1950's. In honor of the famous author we hear a previously aired interview with Manchester historian, Robert Perreault. He talks about Metalious' childhood in Manchester, her life in Gilmanton, and her death in Boston.
