The Prayer of Man and a Wisconsin Tale of Intrigue
A fragmentary poem by Frank C. Haddock opens with metaphysical questioning and ends with a note on seeking truth. The Wisconsin piece shifts to a vivid first person tale set near Devil's Lake, where Dr. Sumner and Gerald uncover a family tragedy. Grace Miller’s marriage, a scheming Leyton, and a perilous illness drive a suspenseful rescue, culminating in a secret past revealed and a warning to young women about strangers.
