Preface

The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter is about a mute man named John Singer. Singer lives in a small town in a Southern state in America. Singer is an incredibly lonely man but there is something about him that draws people to confide in him.

These people include a young girl named Mick who is anxious to grow up, a frustrated black doctor, an angry drunk and the owner of the local café.
