Misfits Abroad: Adventures in Love, Language and Foreign Lands (Misfits Abroad & Misfits Further Abroad) - Hardcover
Book 1 of 2: Misfits Abroad & Misfits Further Abroad
Synopsis
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.

About the Author
Martine Robinson Beachboard has loved words from the time she first learned to use them. This occurred when, at the age of 2, she spent a week with her older brother in the hot, sticky backseat of a green Ford sedan as her parents drove the family from Washington, D.C. to Phoenix. She studied words enough to win a citywide spelling bee in seventh grade.Next thing you know, she's a newspaper editor in southeast Arizona. Her weekly column develops a loyal following, evoking a range of reader responses and emotions, and it begins to earn professional recognition. When she moves to Europe she continues writing.Early in her journalism career, she learns that everyone has a story. Before long, she realizes that everyone is a story.
