On Beyond Paris

Earl was brought up with everything he might need right at his fingertips. Darby struggles for every meal on the streets of L.A. But Darby has one thing that Earl doesn't; his life can only go in one direction from rock bottom, and that is up. Under the cloak of homeless invisibility Darby has adopted a curious hobby called geocaching. When Earl and Darby become friends, geocaching becomes something they can do together. Travel and geocaching combine very successfully and Earl wants to geocache in Paris, so he invites his geocaching mentor along to teach him the ropes. France holds a world of adventure for the two men, but it is what happens beyond Paris that changes their lives forever.
