Two boys were roommates from the military academy at age ten and for 20 years became as brothers, inseparable - yet, there is a marked difference in monetary and prestige which resulted in the most affluent fostering the hospitality. As they aged, it became noticed there were differences or small "cracks in the armor".
One marries and yet, still, there was a bond between the three....one goes to the military to serve then suddenly the other young man hastily leaves for the Tropics. Leaving behind questions........and life changed thereafter!

A great portion of the book is a soliloquy regarding the true definition of friendship, brotherhood and relationships, while at the same time leading this narrative toward reaching truth to questions harbored 40 years and 43 days during the absence of the other friend..........it's worthy of the read just in the fact you can certainly measure those relationships and friendships you have or have ever had - it's weighty and gives pause for thought!
