作者简介
He was born and raised in Pennsylvania where he graduated from Shippensburg State College (now Shippensburg University). When he was a senior in college, he won an Atlantic Monthly fiction competition and have been writing ever since. His first job after graduation was with the Appalachian Poverty Program, where he was expected to counsel and tutor underprivileged children on a one-to-one basis. During his first day on the job, he discovered that the previous occupier of his position had been beaten up by the very kids he had been trying to help and had landed in the hospital for several weeks. The following year was filled with challenge but also tension, and he was more highly motivated than ever to build a career as a writer. he wrote nights and weekends, which he continued to do after leaving the poverty program and going to work as an English teacher in a suburban school district outside Harrisburg. After a year and a half in that position, his wife, Gerda, made me an offer he couldn't refuse: "he'll support you for five years," she said, "and if you can't make it as a writer in that time, you'll never make it." By the end of those five years, Gerda had quit her job to run the business end of his writing career. Gerda and he, along with our dog, Trixie, live in southern California.

Here is thestory of five days in the life of an ordinary man born to anextraordinary legacy—a story that will challenge the way you lookat good and evil, life and death, and everything in between.
Jimmy Tock comes into the world on the very night his grandfatherleaves it. As a violent storm rages outside the hospital, Rudy Tockspends long hours walking the corridors between the expectantfathers' waiting room and his dying father's bedside. It's astrange vigil made all the stranger when, at the very height of thestorm's fury, Josef Tock suddenly sits up in bed and speakscoherently for the frist and last time since his stroke.
