About “The Morning Watch”
The Morning Watch follows the thoughts and experiences of 12-year-old Richard over a few hours on Good Friday in 1923, beginning with his participation in a 4 AM prayer vigil at the chapel of an unnamed Episcopal boarding school. The narrative continues as Richard attends the 4:30 AM shift, leaves the chapel with two other boys, swims in a lake, kills a snake, and takes a locust shell he finds on a tree.
