About the book:
Miles Brennan builds a prosperous real estate career by selling the soul of Denver one block at a time. He finds a way to justify every decision he makes, whether it’s demolishing a historic church or displacing long-time residents. Little by little, these underhanded ways push Miles further away from the person he once was. Through it all, he convinces himself that he’s on solid ground. But after a tragic accident, the false life he's constructed finally caves in.
The threat of incarceration sends Miles on the run, forcing him to abandon his career, his pregnant wife, and any chance at redemption. His desperate escape leads him across the southern border.
Surviving the deserts of northern Mexico is only the beginning. Out of his element and desperate, Miles accepts help from a man whose reach and ruthlessness make refusal impossible. This partnership forces Miles to travel onward to Cuba, where, in the silence of his exile, he finally confronts his past. Miles realizes that though there is no promise of freedom, no guarantee he will see his baby, and no assurance of forgiveness, his only choice is to return home.
