Book Summary
When Wayne walked in stoned to the Warren Stanley shoe store in Orlando, Florida, one December day of 1971, he had no idea it would lead him halfway around the world to Afghanistan. Inside the store, a girl from a group called the Children of God approached him and invited him to join them. Needing more than the “peace and love” of the hippie movement of the 1960s and feeling they were in a spiritual void, Wayne and his brother joined the group, a group that gave them a purpose for living.
Many great countries later, Wayne looked into the eyes of an Arab girl, a girl who melted him and loved him like no other. Soon the love between them was all that mattered. Not their backgrounds, not their nationalities, not their religions.
What Readers are Saying
“London to Kabul has appeals as a travel memoir, a spiritual journey, and a love story.”
-Bruno Ociepka, Amazon Review
“This true account of life in the Children of God takes the reader across the globe, giving a unique insight into an array of countries, and following a truly interesting and inspiring life. […] This is an adventurous tale of survival. But woven into it is a beautiful and amazing love story that lives on today. This is well worth a read.”
-barbreads, Amazon Review
“This is a well-written real life story of a young American traveling and living in the middle east in the 1970’s, before it got so violent for Westerners to do so. It ends with a beautifully told love story that could have been lifted from a Hemingway novel. A great read.”
