Ketz is the richest family in Maui, Hawaii. It is the story of second-generation Ketz-Dr. Mosses Ketz and his wife, Dr. Julie Ketz. They are both married and work as doctors at Maui Hospital in Honolulu. They are childless and struggle with their relationship. Amidst this inside and outside struggle, Mosses meets a patient named Jon Waterson, who is on the verge of dying. After meeting Jon, Mosses feels from day one that Jon might not survive even for the next day. However, not only does Jon keep on surviving, but he also becomes an implicit guru for Mosses.
This is an unconventional guru-disciple story where the disciple doesn't see his guru in that context. Not only does Mosses loathe Jon, but he keeps on wondering why Jon is not dying, despite the fact that, as per standard medical terms, Jon could've died long ago.
An emotional story addressing the tabooest subject-death. The central message of the book revolves around this sensitive word. A story where every struggle is relatable and with a clear message on how to deal with it. Can Mosses win the war with his internal demons, which are also affecting others? Can motherless Julie find solace in the end? Will Jon survive till he finishes his purpose?
