In just a few brief seconds, he relives his entire life. This story chronicles his experiences and the decisions he made in his life from childhood through adult life.

This book has ups and downs. This book is my life experiences from my point of view. The abuse I suffered as a child to the choices I made as an adult. Everything that happened has made me who I am today.

1976. The ass end of the hippie era. Adrift in college, Mark Orwoll drops out in favor of the hitchhiker's road through Europe, the U. K., and Morocco. Along the way, he hangs out with Beat Generation poets, gets dosed on acid at an illegal rock festival, loses everything he owns to thieves, and decidedly does NOT learn how to ride a camel. He would also find his calling in life—at 4 p.m. on July 17, 1976, over a beer on the terrace of the Café Select in Montparnasse. Harps, trumpets, and cathedralesque sunbeams may have been involved.
