Destination Standerton - Paperback

by Gerald Spencer (Author)

Louis Sunderland is self-made, self-spoiled, young, handsome, wealthy and powerful. He is the idol of millions yet was abandoned by his parents. With all his advantages and the extraordinary influence he wields, he does not use them but to be breadwinner of employees dependent upon his success. Inspired by a gift of two antique photos and a gemstone, he realizes there may be nothing more than this for him in this world, Sunderland undertakes a journey using some one else's name, unaware there is unexpected heavy baggage that goes with him. Destination Standerton is a story of love, seeded and surviving, in the face of the horrors of war. Coming face-to-face with the existence of concentration camps in 1899, the young Sunderland discovers, and writes, a love story founded out of extreme deprivation. Ready to depart South Africa for home in the United States, once again, Sunderland falls victim to a mistaken identity as a spokesperson against genocide. He escapes, with help from unexpected quarters, but will this be enough support for him to build on his new found reason for a meaningful life or will it cause him to return to old ways?
