Smith was a social worker for Travelers Aid at the Greyhound Station in the mid- to late-Seventies and met people from all walks of life who, for one reason or another, wound up in San Francisco, usually in emotional, physical, or financial distress. While the book is a stories of vignettes of how he helped these people get on their feet in the city by the bay (or helped them get out because they really needed to be someplace else!), it does capture the vibe of the city in a unique and personalized way.<br /><br />In way of disclosure, I copy-edited the book for Mr. Smith but it certainly wasn't a chore -- I fell in love with the characters and setting almost from the start.<br /><br />You can find it easily on Amazon in print and Kindle editions. If you'd like a review copy, please reply and I can have one mailed to you (or emailed if you have Kindle).<br />Brutariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145931790267780732noreply@blogger.com
