This book takes place at the Coney Island Sandwich Shop, St. Petersburg, Florida, where generations have gathered since 1926. Timeless Voices are recorded and noted by the gifted mind of a young man, though struck blind by lightning the year before, who can yet SEE the memories, thoughts, and emotions of others in his presence. The Voices of the Journeyman, the Old Sailor, and the twin mother of twins are joined by Socrates, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sir Francis Bacon, and others. Each a Voice of a Living Past.
