Title: Roaming ghostland
Description: Roaming Ghostland is about a defining moment both in modern European history and in the life of an idealistic young journalist who abandons everything to chase his dream as a freelance foreign correspondent covering the demise of East Germany after the Berlin Wall crashes down. Through the eyes of that young reporter, the book takes us deep into the soul of a country as it is being erased for all time, offering glimpses into the lives of ordinary people abruptly confronted with such alien concepts as capitalism, democracy, and personal freedom. Sharing the writer s odyssey along the way, we discover the joy and anguish of taking risks, confronting change, and seizing once in-a-lifetime opportunities.
