Summary

Dr. Mowbray no longer feels that he is a healer, but instead believes that he carries death with him. Mr. Baker, dying in the hospital, dreams of being surrounded by the beauty of nature-a bamboo forest, the Sahara Desert, a sunny glade. Watching over the old man, Dr. Mowbray begins to see the lush world of Mr. Baker's dreams and wonders how he can learn to truly understand life when he is always surrounded by death. Fever is a collection of sixteen short stories that reveal the secret inner lives of women and men, skillfully peeling back their defenses to expose crystallizing moments of joy, pain, fear, and guiltless pleasure. Sharon Butala infuses Fever with an intensity of emotion that often catches readers off guard, making for a reading experience that is always honest and powerful
