Currents of Destiny is the first book of a trilogy depicting the saga of two families and their enthralling trajectory across four continents, spanning over a century and several generations. The 366 pages of this first book reveal a panorama of life that includes the heights of joy as well as the depths of despair in places both distant and mysterious as well as near and familiar, evoking new perspectives to the problems of our fast changing society and reminding us that in some ways we've hardly changed at all.
