Yancey Gates seeks enlightenment, while enduring a mundane job plagued with office politics at the San Francisco Planning Department. Opportunity arises when a dynamic new California governor proposes a world's fair in San Francisco having a spiritual theme. Yancey's job in Planning takes on new life as the governor's plan drops into his lap, and carries him to a Northern California Buddhist monastery where present moment awareness is a way of life, and to a fiery American Indian chieftain whose distrust of the White Man threatens the governor's plan. Remaining steadfast as he navigates through challenges and pitfalls, Yancey's focus stays on the question of his real purpose, his reason for living, and he brings you, the reader, along a tumultuous journey towards enlightenment.
