John Ross, a 71 year-old homeless man, has been walking the streets of his city for 31 years. His true identity is buried below years of grime, tattered clothing and a grizzly beard - so most either call him the Buffalo Kid, or just a bum. A broken man, but not a hopeless one, he leaves his cardboard hut one cold night and braves a blistering winter wind in search of food. His stomach aches and growls. Seeing a passerby, he approaches the man who promptly hands him $50 and walks away. Shocked by the stranger's kindness, the Buffalo Kid follows him and soon finds himself caught in the web of a most bizarre undertaking, one that will challenge the core of his humanity and test his will to change his life; a thrill-ride that will not only force him to face the demons he has lived with for decades, but a past that haunts him. A story about our humanity - reminding us that everyone deserves a 2nd chance.
“The Buffalo Kid,” is tremendous.”
“It was impossible to stop reading once I picked it up…”
"You'll want to reread this one after finishing it. Yes, it is that good."
"I simply couldn’t put it down. This surprising story of a human experiment is a thrilling masterpiece offering hope for us all!
