Death & Pretzels
Anatomy of Gray

Pay: Yes

Description:

After the sudden death of her father, June Muldoon writes a letter to God asking that he send Gray, IN a healer, and that no one else would die ever again. Her prayer is halfway answered when Dr. Galen P. Gray crash-lands outside of town in his hot air balloon. Seeing their need for a doctor, and the coincidence of his and the town's names, he agrees to stay, healing anything and everything they come complaining of to him. Soon a mysterious plague begins to spread through the town and Dr. Gray isn't sure he'll be able to save them. Set in the late 1880's, Jim Leonard's Anatomy of Gray deals with death, loss, love and coming-of-age in a uniquely funny and heart-breaking way.
