Baptism for the Dead (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530933952)

A Mormon woman in a secluded Idaho town casts aside her duties to church and family to follow a wandering artist through the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. Lyrical and hypnotic, Baptism for the Dead is an unflinching examination of faith and its lack; of love, obligation, and the transformative power of art. A paean to the landscape and culture of the American West, from the author of Tidewater. Praise for Tidewater: A sweeping story, incredbly detailed... A raw but honest depiction of this fascinating woman. - Historical Novel Review Hawker vividly captures the beauty and tragedy of the first contact between] European and Native American cultures. - Michael Wallace, author of The Righteous
