This fictional story is about George Samaritan who was born as George Ford to upper-middle class parents in a wealthy suburb. When he was seven, his parents died in a fatal car collision with a drunk driver. He was moved through various foster homes where he endured sexual and physical abuse, until he ran away at age 12. He wandered into a dark alley, in a big city, and found a coffin that provided shelter for him for nine years. This is where the story picks up. George became inspired to work full-time as a Good Samaritan after he read a news article about a man who couldnt swim but jumped into an icy river to save a drowning child. The man died but the child grew up to devote his life to public services. George also wanted to honor his parents memory by helping others.
His struggles to survive on the streets are presented in great details, especially when he faced a life or death situation during a frigid winter. Theres also a reference to the September 11th, 2001 tragedy in New York City from the perspective of a homeless person.
