When she graduated from Swarthmore School in 1952 Mary Alzina Stone, known then by her nickname 'Maryal' didn't know what she wished to do next. While she considered her options, like a few of her classmates she volunteered to look abroad with the Quakers to help rebuild war-torn Europe. She found herself at a Finnish work camp on the Arctic Circle where she helped clear wooded areas for farms with volunteers from around Europe. When work camp ended, she met a few of her university friends to back pack through Western Europe, finding yourself in London where she remained several months checking out the location before sailing for home. Years later, a posted author, better half, and mother, Dale has used her trip diary and characters home to create up her experience. Her book includes her diary entries and correspondence with family and friends explaining her reactions to Europe's record and beauty as well as the ventures young Americans experienced backpacking across Europe. Dale's travels will make the reader want to book passing on the first trip in another country to retrace her footsteps in When the Postwar World Was New.
