Cindy and the Wayfarer Louis S Segesvary

The San Francisco Bay area is one of the most picturesque sights in America, surrounded by gently sloping hills with panoramic views of the soaring Golden Gate Bridge, its old fashioned trolley cars from another era still winding up and down the city's narrow cobblestoned streets, and the unending charm of the Haight-Ashbury district with its elegant Victorian homes. But as anyone who has visited San Francisco has seen, in the shadows of its gleaming skyscrapers in the City Centre, there live those who have become dispossessed of all the advantages the world offers. Locked in life and death struggles just to survive, these are the homeless, the addicted, the maimed in body and mind, and the broken in spirit whose numbers include some of the most gifted members of our human race. You will meet one of them in these pages, just as you will also meet a young man beginning the journey of his life on a path that is leading nowhere and worse. But on his desperate way, he meets a remarkable woman with a rare capacity to love, who is then faced with taking the risks that getting involved with him entails. It is their story that forms the heart and soul of this book. It is a story that longed to be told.
