Overview

A broken country. The will to survive. Is the cost too high to abandon the life you know?

When the political climate in Bulgaria changed in 1989, internal struggles remained. Would leaving her country improve her family's life? With her husband and two young children in tow, the author leaves behind her country, family, and friends, and moves to the U.S. Will language and cultural barriers stand in the way of her achieving the "American dream"?

The Wanderer is an emotional, enlightening memoir about the author's heartaches and joys in learning to acclimate to a new culture, while retaining the essence of her own heritage. If you like heartwarming anecdotes about struggle and survival, you'll love this book.
