The body of a young girl drifts over a reef where Jake Savage is photographing lionfish, beautiful brown-striped creatures with feathery pectoral fins that could almost make one forget their venomous spines. For an instant, Jake thinks she might be watching him, but she has no snorkel or mask. She isn’t wearing a swimsuit but rather is clad in only a shirt and panties. And she can’t have looked at him because she has no eyes.
What has this child done to die so young, to be forgotten and left to drift until consumed by the creatures of the sea? A voice whispers to let her go, but he can’t leave her to the whim of the wind and tide ....a simple decision with deadly consequences.

From the green rich Nile valley to the unimaginable ruin and rubble of post-war Germany and the vibrant hedonism of 60s London, Dr. Michael Meguid’s life story unfolds in brilliant prose. “Roots & Branches” illuminates his life’s path filled with rejection, longing, sadness, relentless pursuit, and ultimate fulfillment, joy, and unbridled success.
Born to an Egyptian father and a German mother, his earliest memories of Cairo are idyllic, but his mother’s refusal to adapt to Egyptian life results in upheaval. At the age of four, his parents leave him in Hamburg with his German grandparents, where life becomes defined by the rigid rules of his Prussian grandfather in a culture and language he does not understand. When his parents collect him five years later, they take him to England, where once again he has to adapt to being an outsider.
A life of gaping holes, howling loneliness, and longing that rippled through him his entire life, this is a story of courage, resilience, and perseverance.
