AFTER HIS FATHER’S DEATH, Rob drops out of graduate school in Singapore and takes his place as the sixth CEO and chair of his New Zealand-based family business, the thriving multinational The South Wairarapa Water Company, commonly known as SoWai. He wants to do well, and he yearns to do good. Rob’s dreams for what can and should be done are more grand than his fathers before him would have imagined possible. At the same time, he worries that he is not living up to the legacy that he inherited. He learns the hard way that dreams can be fierce competitors and enemies as much as they can be powerful allies. Rob puzzles through how to do more than run SoWai—he strives to protect the world’s fresh water, which become a struggle for SoWai’s survival as well as his own.

Every SoWai print book and eBook sold, audiobook streamed or purchased, every class taught using SoWai cases and books,
will help protect fresh water and plant trees, as well as help at-risk Māori youth, in Aotearoa New Zealand.
It is estimated that 2,000 printed books can be produced out of one tree. Mātanga Hāpai Limited (SoWai’s publisher) will plant 10 trees for every 2,000 printed SoWai books sold. One tree taken, then 10 native trees in Aotearoa New Zealand planted.
This original watercolor of Cape Palliser Lighthouse, South Wairarapa, New Zealand was painted by teenage Māori artist Samuel Taber-Kewene.
