"Brothers Lost - A Novel," by David Michaelson. ISBN 978-0-9848422-0-9 (softcover). $16.95. 428 Pages
Twin Navajo brothers are separated at birth and sold illegally to finance their mother’s desire to become a veterinarian. They are a product of a bad forced marriage—a man lacking in honor and integrity.
“Bends Like The Willow” grieves for her horse when her drunken husband kills it during a race. Unable to save her horse, she vows to learn the skills needed to heal all animals. A shady underground organization specializing in the illegal purchase of children handles the transaction for a hefty price.
The twins grow up in affluent but very different families. One becomes a decorated Navy SEAL. He is abducted and imprisoned by a rogue U.S. military-run drug cartel when his assignment to investigate the drug problem in the military uncovers the true kingpins. The other brother is an ordinary Certified Public Account who endures a nagging feeling that he has a brother in trouble. Edwin Collingsworth sets out to find his sibling, eventually locating him in a prison camp in Colombia. With the help of a former Navy Seal turned professional surfer, the two extract the brother lost.
The two brothers plan their revenge on the rogue officers and break open the investigation begun by a Congressional Committee.
They locate their long-lost birth mother and convince her to return to the Navajo Nation to clear her name, allowing her to become a legitimate Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
The brothers learn about honor, forgiveness, love of family and many of the old ways during their search for their mother and brothers lost.
