Description
Matt Gerhard prepares for death. Mary, his wife of forty-five years and Dory, his sister who is a Catholic nun, attend at his bedside. Memories of his other sister, Sam, who died in the Hinckley Minnesota fire of 1894 and his daughter, Rose, who died of influenza following the pandemic of 1917, tweak his conscience. He devises a strategy to have a forty-year excommunication from the Catholic Church lifted yet salvage his dignity. He needs his estranged son, Earl, an emotionally damaged veteran of The Great War and Earl s army buddy, Marvin, who collected the bodies of fallen soldiers.
