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 contol the plague's rapid spread, the panic tht takes over Friendship, or his own feeling of dispair. Dark, poetic, and chilling this book makes us consider if it's possible to be a good man in a time of madness.
