Louisville Author’s New Work Coming Soon

A friend of mine is a local author who’s new book—The Requiem Rose: A Waverly Hills Story—is coming out in November. Here’s part of the synopsis:

In 1929, at the height of the tuberculosis epidemic, a patient dies every hour at the Waverly Hills Tuberculosis Sanatorium, set high upon a wooded hillside in Louisville, Kentucky. Wolfgang Pike is both priest and doctor at the sanatorium, but his medicine can’t cure the sick and his religion can’t bring peace to them—nor to himself. He was a doctor before he was a priest, and in between he met and married the love of his life, Rose, who died tragically on a downtown street. With his childhood dreams of being the next Mozart unfulfilled, his new life revolves around writing the perfect requiem for his late wife. But nothing is perfect enough for Rose’s memory.

Sounds intriguing! If you’re so inclined, head over to his site to find out more.
