Publisher's summary

A far-off continent, a remote village, an impossible coincidence…. Is this is what it takes to discover what’s inside a man?

The death of his wife, a painful past, and the promise of bringing hope to a distant people plunges James Merritt into the rhythms of the Tsanga Valley in Central Ghana.

In this tale of fathers and sons, orphans and mentors, James embeds with the Suti tribe on the mighty Volta River and must face his own fears and learn to love and be loved.

James’s ingenious water invention promises to bring a new quality of life to the Suti. But a volatile land dispute between tribes, a fiery female mission worker, and a shocking revelation from his past will cause the Suti to alter James’s life in more ways than he will alter theirs.

James risks everything to gain redemption from a checkered past and find the true heart of a father. But just as he discovers what to live for, he faces the ultimate question. Is it worth dying for?

I'm not sure why this book isn't a NYT best seller!

This book takes place in West Africa. The imagery alone was simply breath taking. The relationships and twists and turns in the plot were unpredictable and engaging. I enjoyed the audible version so much I purchased the paper version for my book shelf.

A story that enters deep into each of our own!

This book has a unique perspective that manages to touch our hearts through a compelling narrative from the other side of our globe. Yet we find that our deepest inner desires are the same....to be loved by Father. The overcoming theme of Father's love resonates deeply in a way that bypasses our defenses and penetrates to our inner longings that He enthusiastically wants to touch and fulfill.
