Inhaltsangabe
Experiences are unique. Responses are universal.
A new environment in the Old World broadened the author’s perspectives. This collection of essays introduces colorful people and places encountered in Europe. The stories center on a time spent living and working with military communities in Germany and traveling further abroad.
The author balances the appeal of an unusual circumstance with the resonance of universal human experience. The reader will identify with the Misfits and the missteps they make when immersed in a new culture. The Misfits may be learners on the bilingual continuum, civilians on an army base, sailors far from home, young people in the wrong marriage, Americans not blending in, or the occasional ones who do. There’s even a story about a man who had never been in his own country. The characters are quirky, compelling and memorable.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Martine Robinson Beachboard has loved words since she first learned about them. This occurred when, at the age of 2, she spent a week with her older brother in the hot, sticky backseat of the green Ford her parents drove from Washington, D.C. to Phoenix. She studied enough words to win a citywide spelling bee in seventh grade. Next thing you know, she was a newspaper editor in Arizona. Her weekly personal column developed a loyal following and evoked a range of reader responses and emotions. When she moved to Europe she continued writing. She has lived or traveled in 40 countries, most recently serving as a Fulbright Scholar in Kosovo.She was awarded first place in column writing from the Arizona Press Club. Her editing has been recognized with four first-place awards by Arizona Press Women. A Penney-Missouri Newspaper Awards competition named her a finalist in single-story reporting. A former professor, she is currently a teacher of English as a Second Language.Early in her journalism career, she learned that everyone has a story. With increased interviewing experience, she realized that everyone is a story.
