Before email, before GPS, there was Faith - a young teacher from Minnesota with a fountain pen, a suitcase, and boundless curiosity. In the summer of 1958, she set off across Europe, writing witty, observant letters home that captured a continent rebuilding itself and a traveler discovering her independence. From hitchhiking through France to museum-hopping in Vienna, Faith's letters reveal both the humor and humanity of midcentury travel. With a reporter's eye and a daughter's affection, she describes her encounters with locals, landscapes, and language barriers - all with self-deprecating charm and sharp intelligence.
