About Benediction by Kent Haruf
Set in Holt, Colorado, on the High Plains, Kent Haruf’s Benediction follows several households as they face illness, loss, strained relationships, and the need for care. Dad Lewis’s terminal cancer brings his family together around his final days, while his estranged son’s absence remains a source of pain.
Nearby, a girl grapples with memories of her mother’s death, a newly arrived preacher tries to repair family ties, and neighbors offer comfort where they can. The novel may appeal to readers of character-focused fiction about family, grief, community, and the bonds that help people through difficult times.
