A Ride on the Cosmic Slingshot

In 1985, it seemed as though George Melton and Wil Garcia would be just two more unfortunate casualties of the AIDS epidemic until a profound spiritual awakening put their disease into remission. But that is hardly the end of their story. Destiny comes calling in the form of an unlikely relationship with the channeled spirit of Benjamin Franklin and the impending Harmonic Convergence. Within six months, they had traded their comfortable lives in Manhattan for a 27 foot Winnebago, and set off on an 18 month, 40,000 mile sojourn to share their message of hope.

Catapulted into the unlikely role of poster boys for the nascent self-healing movement, the two men gain national prominence for their unorthodox approach to healing. Their trip is not without its challenges, however. What do two guys from Manhattan know about life on the road in an RV? And how could they have possibly foreseen that enlightenment is a constantly moving target?

When Wil dies unexpectedly in 1989, George is plunged into a dark night of the soul. The validity of everything he believes and holds dear is called into question. But the two men's love for each other is stronger than death. Wil reaches out from beyond the grave to offer George a final, life-altering gift.
