A Bright New Day is Dawning in the USA

Wednesday, January 20th, 2021

A bright new day is dawning in the United States of America after four years without governance. Today, the Biden/Harris team steps up and the Trump/Pence team steps down. That means today marks the return to civility, decency, honesty, fairness, accountability, diplomacy, reason, science and reality. Gone are the lies, dysfunction, delusion, self-adulation, insults, spite, nepotism, name-calling and cronyism. Carpe Diem! Let’s all help to put America back together again.

For a sneak peek at the first 20+ pages of my memoir, Walled-In: A West Berlin Girl’s Journey to Freedom, click “Download a free excerpt” on my home page and feel free to follow my blog about anything German: historic and current events, people, places and food.

Walled-In is my story of growing up in Berlin during the Cold War. Juxtaposing the events that engulfed Berlin during the Berlin Blockade, the Berlin Airlift, the Berlin Wall and Kennedy’s Berlin visit with the struggle against my equally insurmountable parental walls, Walled-In is about freedom vs. conformity, conflict vs. harmony, domination vs. submission, loyalty vs. betrayal.
