Coffins Summary
| The year is 1860, and young Davis Bentwood, MD, believes he understands the world, thanks to the transcendental philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Davis has seen man's inhumanity to man in the way people treat his friend Jebediah Coffin, a dwarf. An urgent message from Jeb summons Davis to the Coffin family home in Maine. The gruesome simultaneous deaths of Jeb's twin brothers have driven their father, Captain Coffin, insane. Then the first Coffin grandchild is found frozen in his crib, mere feet from a blazing fire. Another brother is killed during a freak storm. Are these merely bizarre accidents, or does something sinister gnaw at the heart of the Coffins? With Lincoln newly elected and tensions rising between North and South, the Coffins may become the first casualties in the war on slavery, unless Davis can redeem the Captain's tainted soul. Thoroughly researched, Coffins seamlessly blends real people like Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton with its well-wrought characters. |
