Twelve stories are presented in both German and English. The stories were either written in English and transposed by the author into German or vice versa. The focus of the stories is on ordinary people in everyday life situations. In several of the stories, two similar small villages, one on the New England coast and the other in Germany, are utilized as locales to bring out contrasts and similarities in lives lived far apart but with similar experiences.
