Axel Browne is the product of the swiftly dimming era of the 1960s and Vietnam War. In 1968, he returns from the war but cannot re-acclimate to the American lifestyle so drops out and becomes a wanderer.
But now, at age 70, he realizes his traveling days are probably over. Seven years have passed since the Christmas Eve of 2010 when he met Miss Plackie while peddling yard work for food, door-to-door, on the outskirts of Waterford, Ohio. He ends up wintering in Miss Plackies toolshed that dismal winter but then stays on and puts down shallow roots.
Wanderer Come Home closely follows Axel Browne over several months of his quixotic history where we find in him a curious hero. But what we also discover is that Axel Browne harbors a secreta mystery he has carried since childhood which gradually reveals itself through his interactions with friends, adversaries, and strangers.
But Axels story has a countermelodya strange analoguetold through events in the life of another character and resident of Waterford. His name is Hunter Carr. In most ways, Hunter Carr is the antithesis of Axel Browne and, as the story begins, they are complete strangers, having no idea the other exists. Yet, their stories become entangled even before they meet face-to-face and have the result of profoundly changing the others destiny. It all begins on a fateful night in July on an iron bridge painted silver.
Wanderer Come Home is a story about undying love and a childs promise, about loyalty and commitment between friends, about death, resurrection, and healing, and about how the mysteries beyond our reality here on Earth shape our lives as mortal beings.

Axel Brownes life has been one of hardship and disappointment, having spent most it as a homeless wanderer. After his discharge from the military and the war in Viet Nam in 1968, Axel cannot readjust to a normal American lifestyle until he has reunited with his childhood sweetheart and soulmate and they are married. And this might have been possible if the girl of Axels dreams had not died in 1956 after being struck and killed by a car. But Axel believes Dixie, his soulmate, is alive again somewhere in the world because she was reincarnated in 1963.

Just as Axel is about to accept the fact that he will never find the reincarnated version of Dixie (who would be middle-aged by now), evidence of her existence in the physical world, suddenly falls into his lap. But what to do? The lead he finds is cold and, at age seventy, is there really time for a meaningful reunion if it should happen?

Wanderer Come Home explores the shadow and substance of human consciousness, and what happens when a human on Earth discovers his own immortality before death and how it changes the world he knows and the life he leads, thereafter.
