Rarely will literature, history, an author and a novel find that perfect balance of authenticity and entertainment that represents an enduring classic. Stuart Tower's The Wayfarers is that perfect balance.
During the opening decade of the 20-century Romania was home to economic instability. At the hands of government enforced-impoverishment, trade boycotts and social unrest arose from what we now realize were the global consequences of industrial and political revolution. Out of this period of unrest a disenfranchised and downtrodden mass organized into a group who pressed westward across a hostile Europe. Their destination was the sanctuary of America. That was their quest and this is their story.
