Wayward Saints
by Suzzy Roche
Wayward Saints by Suzzy Roche (10/30/2011)
Story reminds me of some words in a Harry Chapin folksong "...I'm not going anywhere but somewhere is a better place to be...."

Lonely people can be found in all walks of life. Mary Saint became a lonely person because early in life her father abused her and her mother, who was also abused, could not or would not protect her. When she became a rock star she was an abrasive and cruel person until Anthony Celebrese became part of the band. They quickly became a couple until he died. She left the band and wandered aimlessly and eventually moved to San Francisco where she met a homeless man in church named Thaddeus . He became the person who brought her back to the "living."
