Imagine that the reincarnation of John Lennon got together with Jesus and Buddha

The False Prophet of Fennimore Place is back, taking on the oneness of religion in this obscure, but loveable book. The story starts off after the death of The False Prophet, when a drugged out ex-student of his is attempting to find a lost manuscript she believes he buried on an island in the Caribbean. Siann (which is the name of the drugged out ex-student) is in the middle of a ice (crystal methamphetamine) bender. She has stolen a car and is heading toward Florida. She has pieced together this belief about a lost manuscript from a series of dreams she has had and a faded green notebook that she stole from Joe Kaye (The False Prophet of Fennimore Place) back when she was in seventh grade. The second story is presented as the manuscript Siann finds which is entitled Blind Savior. The manuscript Blind Savior is about a schizophrenic homeless man named Felix King who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln, Krishna, Jesus, Lao Tzu, Buddha, and Mohammed. Most of Felix's beliefs about reincarnation stem from a series of religious recurring dreams that he has had. Felix has NO FATHER, and his mother has died. Felix is apprehensive to tell anyone about his dreams, but finally confides in two of his friends in high school. Needless to say, no one believes him. He is abandon by friends and family, spends some time in institutions and is finally spit out by society. When Felix has his last dream, he believes he is Abraham staring at the smoking crater that was once Sodom and Gomorrah. Now with the help of a strange writer named Rysby Lenin (who claims to be the reincarnation of John Lennon), Felix must try to solve the mystery of his religious recurring dreams.
