Silver Diaspora

In "Silver Diaspora," Rand examines his family's roots in the northeastern United States and chronicles his journey through these times, against the backdrop of the family history. Embarking on a search of a better new world, Rand's parents leave the East Coast and land in California. From here, this memoir follows Rand through college at Berkeley, travels abroad, work in the petroleum industry and his experiences as a writer.

Describing the people, places and experiences that impacted Rand's life, "Silver Diaspora" provides one man's insight into the world in the latter two-thirds of the last century.
