Set in Friendship, Wisconsin, just after the Civil War, A Prayer for the Dying tells of a horrible epidemic that has gripped the town in a vise of fear and death.Jacob Hansen, Friendship's sheriff, undertaker, and pastor, is soon overwhelmed, though he continues to do what he can.But Jacob cannot control the plague's rapid spread, the panic that takes over Friendship, or his own feelings of despair.Dark, poetic, and chilling, A Prayer for the Dying makes us consider if it's possible to be a good man in a time of madness.AUTHORBIO: Stewart O'Nan's first collection of stories, In the Walled City, won the Drue Heinz Literary Prize.He is the author of four previous novels, Snow Angels, The Names of the Dead, The Speed Queen, and A World Away.He lives in Connecticut.
