Well-known Episcopal priest and author Malcolm Boyd draws on his many and varied experiences to provide lessons for others who are facing middle age and beyond. The themes of this book reflect Boyd's own life, a life that has taken him from Hollywood, where he was a television producer and partner of screen legend Mary Pickford, to the South, where he was a Freedom Rider during the Civil Rights movement, to San Francisco, where he was the "rebel priest" who read prayers and led worship services in coffeehouses and nightclubs.
