Publisher's Synopsis
Set in Australia against the backdrop of World War 1, A Prayer for Brother William is a heartwarming and often humorous story by Australian author Vincent Gilvarry about life on the home front, which in some cases, can be as perilous as a battlefield. The loss of his parents was more than William Cahill could handle. He retreats into a world of his own; abandons his brother and sisters and disappears for weeks at a time. His life threatens to spiral out of control and would have done so if it hadn't been for Aunt Augusta. She drags him back from the brink, and in the process, transforms his life and that of his siblings. Augusta Cahill might be dreadfully wealthy and a pathetic old socialite, but she can be a force to be reckoned with.
