Wanderer

F. T. Burke

During the crazy latter days of the Vietnam War, many young travelers wandered about doing drugs, having sex, sleeping out, and back-packing through Europe, North Africa and Asia. As a young man coming of age, just out of college, with no clear future and unable to pay rent, the bushy-redhaired Woodstock joins these revelers to wander the world, searching for his soul. Upon beating the Draft, he crosses the Atlantic to the Old World in October 1970 without any particular itinerary, no set time to come "home" and not much money. He finds God everywhere no matter how hard he tries to hide and look away. During his year-long journey, his spontaneous, free-wheeling adventures of raucous, hilarious incidents all weigh heavy against the need to come home and grow up. Come along for this unforgettable adventure of a lifetime.
