    A nasty, realistic picture of what has been stupidly glamorized--the hobo life. The narrator, an outwardly successful but inwardly insecure and self-hating black lawyer, tells how and why he left middle class comfort to become a railroad hobo, and how he paid a debt to a fellow hobo by tracking down his teenage daughter who thought riding the rails sounded exotic. It is about how one survives at the brutal ass-0end of American society.
