14th century Yorkshire: the time of Chaucer.

At St Alcuin's Monastery, newly-installed Abbot John is in shock. His mother has been murdered, and his sister raped, by drunken villagers who find two straight-talking, literate, independent women - healers, no less - convenient scapegoats when a child mysteriously dies.

Meanwhile, St Alcuin's resident refugee Father William, formerly in charge at St Dunstan's Priory, is reluctantly discovering his own vulnerability, and coming to terms with his change in status.

As they support their leader and their terse, aloof, barely-welcome guest, the community of brothers tackle the task of nurturing the grace of God in both men.

The Hour before Dawn explores grief, trauma, and the possibility of healing. Wilcock deftly weaves themes of resurrection and ascension through the story. How do you assist someone who has survived suffering, but has yet to move on?

Even in the darkest moments of the story, hope tarries in the wings. A wonderful writer, a wonderful read! - Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times bestselling author
