Carol Denman thought she had left her past behind when she divorced John Bowman two decades ago. But on the eve of their daughter's thirtieth birthday, John reenters Carol's life, bringing with him a terminal illness and a plea for reconciliation. Bound by the irrevocable threads of memory and remorse, they embark on an urgent journey to make amends, confront their history, and fulfill neglected promises. As they travel, the shadow of their shared past, once an unbearable weight, might just be the force that liberates them both. 'A Life Without Water' is a poignant tale of forgiveness, the resilience of the human spirit, and the roads we take to healing and redemption.
