The Mariners Harbor Messiah by Todd Daily Book Trailer
The 1970s. A charismatic young man with extraordinary
powers of healing, compassion, forbearance, and clairvoyance
- named Amon. Living in an abandoned tugboat on Staten Island’s
Mariners Harbor waterfront, this modern day prophet performs
everyday miracles while doing good work for the homeless and the
downtrodden. Amon is befriended by a high school science teacher,
Tom Haley, whose rational perspective differs from Amon’s spiritual
reference frame.
The concepts of economic disparity, ethnic conflict, spiritual-
secular balance, and changing sexual mores in an evolving society,
and idealism in the work-a-day world of 1970s America
provide a backdrop to the unfolding plot. Notwithstanding
their differences, the friendship between the two protagonists, Tom
and Amon, is an ongoing motif in the story.
