Frederick Kiefer, Professor of English at the University of Arizona: The Pilgrim beings in the American heartland, a traditional German Lutheran community in Missouri. But everything is about to change. The sixties arrive like a tidal wave, and we witness its effects through the character of Paul. He find himself energized by new ideas and new possibilities. A young musician, he drifts westward and washes up in San Francisco just when the Summer of Love blossoms. Paul seems marked for success, but he finds himself thrown off balance by the madness of the times. What makes this novel so compelling is the skill with which Fred Baue explores Paul’s struggle to find purpose in a world being born. Baue brings to life an era that would become a turning point in the American story. This book is a winner.
