Dry Water

by Paul B. Vitta

Two brothers grow up in Africa together and then part to study Michael in America, Robert in Europe. When they return, Michael goes into politics with aspirations for the highest office in the land; Robert follows a path of civil service. Their divergent paths cannot escape the tumultous events of their time. Love and family are tested to the very edge of life and death.
