Ms. American Pie author Beth Howard will read from her new book, Hausfrau Honeymoon: Love, Language, and Other Misadventures in Germany. 

This humorous, engaging, and romantic travel memoir tells of Howard’s misadventures in language and cultural assimilation when she moved to Stuttgart, Germany from 2003 to 2006 to live with her German-born husband.  

"Howard is a reincarnation of the most gifted memoir and humorist writers. She's an Erma Bombeck on steroids." —John Busbee
