Minister without portfolio

Winter, Michael, 1965- (Author).

In a quest to simultaneously recover from unrequited love and to find meaning in what is becoming an increasingly emotionally arid life, Henry travels to Afghanistan as an army-affiliated contractor. But everything changes during a tragic roadside incursion when a routine patrol suddenly turns fatal. Upon returning home, now tormented by guilt, Henry tries to bring meaning back to his life and to make amends by planning to buy and repair his deceased friend's dilapidated family house.
