As a hospice nurse, Robert Baker was used to death. He had seen the family drama, the sadness, and sometimes the sweet relief that comes from the end of life. But when Robert meets a catatonic nonagenarian patient named Oliver Buff McDade, he gets pulled into another time and place. When Mr. McDade rallies at the end of his life and makes a mysterious, nonsensical plea to Robert, he promises to fulfill that last request in order to give the old man peace. But what Robert doesn't know is that Mr. McDade is serious about this task; serious enough to visit Robert in a dream to make sure that the job is done. The Starvation Box is part Dickensian tale, part memoir, and part mystery, wrapped in a story that will take you through the life of a member of the Greatest Generation, as he recounts his life, his love and his motives to the only man he can trust to complete some very important unfinished business.
