She has always loved to live in the wild.
Im Jittoa Bo'o—A Healing Journey
Dr. John Molina is a Native American doctor (gynecologist) from the small township Guadalupe village (Tempe, Arizona). He overcame cultural bias, addiction, and professional obstacles.

Ohne meinen geliebten Mann
Elisabeth Neumann (in German) experience a year of calamities. Then the worst occurred: her husband was killed a car accident and did not survive. The widow, left behind with three underage children, had to fight the insurance for compensation, take on a restaurant job, and pump water from a flooding basement. Yet she also had the surreal feeling that Wolfi was still around.
Me Happy, You?
Renate Mousseux, a German and French professor in Phoenix, has unbreakable humor. Whenever life gives her lemons, she makes lemonade. Coming from Germany, she had language troubles at first. So how do you flip a bird? What are fashion statements all about? Her Great Danes also delivered interesting poop and other good stories. No misunderstanding goes unexamined.
Journeys into Foreign Lands
Uta Monique Behrens takes us on a trip around the world. She reflects on the carpet children in an Egyptian factory, writes a poem on reconciliation after a concentration camp visit in Theresienstadt (Terezin, Poland), describes the washing processes in Mumbais dhobi town, and also pays a visit to the Kumari of Nepal. And many other places.
s'Bobbele im Ausland
Renate Mousseux (in German), in Freiburg dialect, shares adventures and sometimes mischief from her German childhood and family in America. How do you get a tan before heading to the pool? Right, shoe polish. Or how do you increase hair volume? Right, sugar water. And the saga continues with her own son and skateboarding etc.
Journeys as a Landlord
Uta Behrens recounts her experience, successes and pitfalls, as a landlord in Phoenix. At first, she took a mop, a brush, and a bottle of windex in her own hands. Later she dealt with overdue rent, evasive tenants, and grifting managers. Sometimes a problem resolved with hearty laughter. As a landlord you need a lot of humor.
