Rent My Odyssey: Tales of Modern Greeks' Journey to Life

Synopsis

In this book you'll read the stories of 10 Greeks whose lives certainly seemed set for failure and disappointment if not disaster. An encounter with someone they weren't even looking for changed everything. How they got to the place, however, where disaster was averted, disappointment was changed to fulfillment and failure became success in the areas of life they now see as important, makes some interesting reading. Read of two teen-age boys, who can't speak English, lost in a train station in Chicago, or of the young teen-age girl, in such a fog from drugs that she was lost on her own street. Read of another teen-age girl who dares to be different from everyone in her village, of the 12-year-old sent across the world, far from home and family, for a "better life". Read of the philanderer who loses everything and of the divorcee who kneels to pray for help at a specific spot every night and what happened at that very spot. These true stories are indeed better than fiction. These stories were compiled by Marion Baldwin who, with her husband, Bill, lived and worked in Greece for nearly 50 years
