Now a best-selling author, Allison MacKenzie returns home to celebrate the publication of her novel, Samuel's Castle. Loosely, yet clearly, based on her acquaintances and experiences growing up in Peyton Place, Allison's novel exposes the intolerant attitudes of Peyton Place's ruling families, who undertake to teach Allison-and those who defend her-a lesson in respect.
A hastily-penned sequel to the wildly successful Peyton Place, Return to Peyton Place continues to explore themes of loyalty, betrayal, sexuality, and redemption. The novel was also adapted as a 1961 film starring Tuesday Weld.
