The Man Who Owns Little (Kindle Single)

Pete -- an impetuous, avowedly self-absorbed writer -- and Dave -- a pithy banker with a "genius for generosity" -- had maintained a close friendship since their first days at college. They stood as Best Man for each other; they are godfathers to each other's sons.

That bond cracks during one visit in their mid-thirties, and since then neither can say with any satisfaction why. In their ensuing letters, both men begin speaking with a candor they never shared face-to-face, and over 15 years they break down and rebuild what each thought of the other, and of themselves, sifting the remains of a friendship dissolved and youth passed.

This is the second Kindle Single by Mark Ernest Pothier, author of "The First Light of Evening." (Cover by Mason Cummings. Cover photo by Greg Minuskin.)
