Produktbeschreibung

The Wanderer or No Place to Rest Your Head is a story of several souls' paths to "salvation/enlightenment," told in the anecdotes of another soul's final (tentative), earth-journey experience. It was written out of compassion for the suffering of all fellow beings with the hope of providing at least a modicum of comfort and happiness. But keep an open mind; it may not be what you expect. And please, don't kill the author/messenger!
