This is the true story of Harry Guttenplan - a crippled Jewish beggar - whom auathor Stephen Grosso met on the streets of New York City. Every week for three years Stephan visited Harry at his welfare-paid apartment in the South Bronx and at his hospital bedside - until Harry died. During those years Harry and Stephan shared vivid moments of joy, pain, and spiritual insight.
On three occasions Harry's deceased brother Morris entered the situation in ways that defy explanation. But the real story is the deeply human and graced friendship of Harry and Stephan - a story you will not forget.
This is a fascinating and moving story.
