Wanderer cover

Wanderer

by Sterling Hayden

"[Sterling Hayden] was at the peak of his earning power as a movie star when he suddenly quit. He walked out on Hollywood, left a shattered marriage, defied the courts, broke as an outlaw, and set sail with his four children in the schooner Wanderer bound for the South Seas. His attempt to escape launched his autobiography. It is the candid, sometimes painfully revealing confession of a man who scrutinized his every self-defeat and self-betrayal in the unblinking light of conscience."--Page 4 of cover.
