Well-known Episcopal priest and author Malcolm Boyd draws on the many and varied experiences of his seventy-eight years 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.
