Adrian Masters arrives at UC Berkeley in 1963, at the beginning of one of the most turbulent and influencial periods of modern American history. Emerging currents of political, cultural and spiritual revolution come together in an unprecedented combination to excite and inspire the rising generation. The war in Vietnam and consequential student protests, the civil rights movement, the sexual revolution, the influx of spiritual teachers from the East, and the flood of interest in psychedelic drugs meet in a transformative confluence that completely changes the lives and values of young men and women. Drawn by the magnetic power of these movements, Adrian struggles to find his own place in relation to them as he discovers another force within himself that leads him toward a completely different way of facing life. When he finds and joins a group of like-minded seekers, he embarks upon a spiritual journey that leads him deeply inward in the midst of the inner forces that drive him and the dramatically changing world around him.

Sanctuary in the Barracks continues the story of Adrian Masters, a young man struggling to find his place in relation to the emerging political, cultural and spiritual revolutions of the 1960s. Waking Up in the Sixties told how, while a student at UC Berkeley, Masters found and joined a group of like minded seekers, embarking upon a spiritual journey that led him deeply inward in the midst of the dramatically changing world around him. Like many young men at that time, Adrian faced the question of whether to evade the draft and involvement in a controversial war or accept the responsibility to serve. When his mentor suggested that his self-development could benefit from the difficult conditions of military life, Adrian decided to undertake that challenge. At the end of Waking Up in the Sixties, Adrian reported for induction into the Army along with thousands of men drafted to fight in the Vietnam war. Beginning with Adrian's arrival at boot camp, Sanctuary in the Barracks follows his struggle to develop an inner discipline of awareness amid the onerous demands of enforced combat training.

In this endearing memoir, William Jordan's reluctant adoption of a stray cat leads to an unexpectedly deep bond, one that will be immediately recognizable to anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of a pet. When Jordan brings Darwin into his home, he is forced into a commitment more devoted and sincere than any he has known before. He observes Darwin not only with the lovestruck gaze of a doting pet owner but also with the keen eye of a trained scientist, and he ruminates insightfully on the complex relationship between humans and their pets. Through issues of territory and separation, sickness and health, Jordan's heartrending memoir of his relationship with Darwin is made irresistible by his "self-effacing honesty, his ever-present wit, and, above all, the unashamed nakedness of his emotions" (San Diego Union-Tribune).
