But Harry  a historian and Nixon scholar  also knows George has a murderous temper  and when George loses control the result is an act of violence so shocking that both brothers are hurled into entirely new lives in which they both must seek absolution.  Harry finds himself suddenly playing parent to his brothers two adolescent children  tumbling down the rabbit hole of Internet sex  dealing with aging parents who move through time like travelers on a fantastic voyage. As Harry builds a twenty-first-century family created by choice rather than biology  we become all the more aware of the ways in which our history  both personal and political  can become our destiny and either compel us to repeat our errors or be the catalyst for change.
