Clement Scheutz, a recently discharged young soldier, finds himself entangled in Cuba’s armed revolution. It triggers a revolution inside himself and he sees that in order to survive he must renounce his own life of violence, find a peace for himself, and a home to go to. Led by the voice of a murdered Cuban woman, he sets out to pick up the traces of what had once passed for a home. In the city of Cincinnati, he finds the scattered shards of that fragile haven, and many surprises that lead him, not only into his own psyche, but on a path that could lead him to better future. From his younger brother whom he has not seen since he was thirteen, and from the beautiful woman whom he has loved since she was a gawky teenager, he learns to come to terms with himself as a person shaped by his environment, and still capable of rising above it.

Clement Scheutz, his schooner smashed on the rocks of Puerto Rico by a hurricane, is accused of killing a local islander. The woman he loves has deserted him and he is without money. While putting the boat back together, he helps rebuild a local restaurant and finds new love with the owner.  "Few authors can combine both compelling characters and gripping plot. Meibers does so here - his richly-drawn Clem character is both introspective and swashbuckling, both poet and pirate." -David Brody  "A modern version of a Joseph Conrad adventure. Meibers has created an engaging tale of life on a Caribbean island where his challenges reflect our own." -Dwight Harshbarger
