Amanda Eyre Ward's debut novel is an intimate portrait of three
women whose lives collide during a brutal Texas summer.
In Gatestown, Texas, twenty-nine-year-old Karen Lowens awaits
her execution with a host of convicted serial killers on death row.
In Manhattan, Dr. Franny Wren, also twenty-nine, tends to a young
cancer patient, and resists the urge to run from her fiance and her
carefully crafted life. In Austin, Texas, brassy Celia Mills, a
once-vibrant librarian, mourns her murdered husband.
Over the course of the summer, fate pushes these eerily
recognizable women together, culminating in a revelation of the
possibility of faith, the responsibility of friendship, and the
value of life. Sleep Toward Heaven is a luminous story of murder
and desire, solitude and grace -- a rare literary page-turner where
redemption seems perpetually within arm's reach.
