Eastern Odyssey: A Family Journal of our Trek through Japan and Russia in 1973

A family of six from the America decided in 1973 on an adventure to spend a year working a path around the world, starting in Japan for three months, then taking the Trans Siberian Express across Russia to Ukraine, Scandinavia, and on to Western Europe. Four of the family members, Barbara (mother), Nancy (17), Keith (14), and Phyllis (10) were encouraged to keep a journal of their experiences. This book is compiled from four journals showing for each day of the trip four different perspectives, each with an individual view point for their age and interests. Not just a record of their impressions of the places they visited, it portrays the internal struggles just to keep the family together while facing exotic challenges. It was an adventure of a lifetime.
