This is the story of Peter and Paul before they met Mary. Most people don't know that they were originally known as "Peter and Paul and the Early Christian Church" and they only sang bible hymns. It was Mary who later introduced the Folk angle to them. In fact, the guys were reluctant to change the name of the group, until she convinced them that the "Mary" in "Peter, Paul and Mary" was a reference to the mother of Jesus and not herself, thus allowing them to keep a little of "where they came from" alive. I don't wanna spoil too much of it for you, but also included in the book is a story about an unscrupulous tour promoter, which explains the origin of the phrase "Steal from Peter to pay Paul". Trust me, it's a must read.
