Ghosts of East Berlin is my memoir co-written with my mom, Celeste, recalling our experience living in East Berlin for six months in 1988, the year before the Wall came down. It was a powerful experience writing together and recalling our surreal experience. The memoir is dedicated to my late step father, Frank McConnell, who received the Fulbright grant to teach in Berlin.

It is rather remarkable that what starts out as an idea in ones head grows and eventually moves from thought to paper. In that process, I have found that I learn about myself in the process. Its a true form of self discovery. (less)
