The Restless Seventies. The Need To Roam. Free At Last.An Adventurous Journey Of Self-Discovery.Twenty-something New Yorker, Brenden O'Neill, sticks out his thumb and travels the country during the seventies. He experiences life and love, and wonders beyond his imagining. He meets people from all walks of life, and walks with them. He befriends hobos, street performers, ladies of the night, the beautiful people and the not so beautiful people. His travels take him by car, truck, train and very occasionally plane, from Hell's Kitchen to New Orleans, Hawaii, all over America and beyond. Along the way he picks up many and varied new skills, takes whatever jobs he can grab, and lives life on the road, sometimes in splendor and sometimes in squalor. Through the people he meets and the places he goes, Brenden explores his own views on beauty, love, faith, fate, family and life.Based partly on the real-life experiences of the author (yes, the unbelievable roof incident really happened), Blue Bayou combines adventure, humor, fact and fiction to weave a captivating tale that is entertaining and thought provoking.This is the second book in Robert Carroll's Canticle Cross series.
