The Aqueous Solution

by W. Keith Brenton

For Nate Walker, newly turned 29, life is falling apart. He has lost his job; some people who look and sound just like his missing parents are not them; he has had a falling out with his best friend Breanna; his beloved Kristin has gone missing; his adoptive grandfather George has walked on ... and any further answers about who Nate is and needs to be in life have died with him. George has told him how to view the past and how the Waters of the Stars extend life, though those waters seem to be vanishing like everything else Nate treasures. Turning inward, Nate lets his life crash to a halt for many, many years. Then he decides to rebuild it, return home to Eureka Springs, Arkansas and reconcile with his best friend ... only to discover a terrible secret about Kristin that Breanna has been hiding from him for decades ....

This is the type of story that I didn’t want to have to finish, because now it’s over. I am so intrigued to hear more about the story. If the author plans on writing a sequel to the end, I’m all for it! I NEED ANSWERS.

Touching and pulling at heartstrings, Mr. Brenton out did himself with the last book of The People of the Waters. Such a shocking turn of events happen to everyone. Knowing a little bit of the inspiration behind some of the characters, I am disappointed that publishers didn’t think it could work out as Keith intended to write the story. Now that I’ve experienced the inspiration, I see that maybe they were kind of right all along…

A wonderful story, no doubt. I will be watching for more work by Mr. Keith Brenton. Thank you again.
