For those not familar with RLW's movie experience.
The author, Grace, Metalious, wrote "Peyton Place" while living in Gilmanton, NH. The plot bears resemblances to a real-life story, in which a Gilmanton woman confessed to killing her father after years of abuse and burying the body beneath a sheep pen. In the book, character Selena Cross does the same with her stepfather
