Coles Misfits Abroad: Adventures in Love, Language, and Foreign Lands at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

Experiences are unique. Responses are universal. This collection of vignettes 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. A new environment in the Old World broadened the author's perspectives. 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.
