In this prequel to the highly acclaimed novel A Warm Place to Call Home (a demon’s story) by Michael Siemsen, the bestselling author turns back the clock–from post-WWI California to late 1950’s New York City.
For reasons unknown to him, Samuel’s essence remained after his body was killed, and he discovers that the living emit an irresistible force, drawing him inside where he has the power to take over.
After surviving the great depression in the body of a young hobo, Samuel spends years studying the history of his condition, moving from body to body when necessary, and finally settling in New York City in the late 1950’s. Following a few years of relative serenity, his beautiful and brash girlfriend disappears, and his search for her uncovers answers to questions he never asked.
