Wanderlust

Thirty years later his three granddaughters back in Germany inherited his land in America. One chose to emigrate; the other two stayed behind. Wanderlust chronicles the repercussions of their choices.

The daughter of a midwife recalls her childhood during WWII as her home is attacked by fellow Germans.

A nine-year-old boy watches his father learn the art of farming in "Amerika."

An American woman follows her German husband back to Europe and for the first time views the U.S. through foreign eyes.

A young man in East Germany devotes his life to the study of the violin, secretly hoping to gain a place in a touring orchestra so that he will have the chance to defect, but as the Berlin Wall falls he finds he must reevaluate his life and his ambitions.

"Wanderlust" is both a memoir and a travelogue, a story of work, family, love, and immigration.
