A Vermont farm boy makes his way across the continent meeting Amish folk, migrant farm workers, Native Americans, people who are living out their lives still connected to the working landscape amid the tectonic shifts of the 1960's counterculture. Family tragedy has driven Danny Sweeney away from home. He gleans nourishment from new experiences and relationships as he moves from late adolescence into young manhood; from self-abandonment to self-discovery. The Gleaner is a paean to our lost heritage, our vital connection to land and working animals and to the Earth itself.

Sometimes we live a life that inspires others. It's not about whom we are and who we choose to be with, but how we spend that time together. Stephen Rosenzweig takes us on The Journey through the maze of his life; a unique life that few people will ever have the chance to experience. His is a life encompassing both the joy of love and the pain of loss. He encourages us that to really live a full life, a part of us must die. We must let go of the past negativity; and find the positive in our new experiences. Only then can we truly begin to live. According to the author, to live is to love, really love. Love is hope crystallized into the dreams of tomorrows to come. There are moments of oneness between the greater power, the Great Spirit, and the oneness of the conscious energy of the universe. God by whatever name you choose lets us know when we are on the right path to reach our desired destination while we live.
