The Devil and George Bailey — Tom Horn

The long-awaited sequel to the legendary film "It's a Wonderful Life," this story takes up where the movie left off, but veers quickly into dark, unfamiliar territory.
Old George Bailey never did make it out of his little town of Bedford Falls; his one dying hope was that his children would take up the torch and explore the world as he'd always dreamed of doing … but, sadly, none shared his dream.
This is a story about search and redemption. Spanning four decades and five continents, it is a tale of renewal, obsession, presage, ambition; of self-inflicted isolation and dwindling friendships in the 20th century: a century whose task is to rediscover its gods.
