Introduction

Bente - a Student from Hamburg, Germany - is sent to a Lutheran High-school in Missouri, USA. Missouri isn''t even the first choice for Bente. It is indeed an unlucky start. And there are health issues!

Family and Social Dynamics

Caitlyn, the host-sister is pregnant, too? A lot of turmoil lies ahead. Well, it is a Christian School! And, how would Martin Luther have reacted to all these shenanigans? As to the Reverent, Caitlyn''s grandfather? Does he approve? Certainly not!

Challenges and Questions

Bente doesn''t know anything about baseball and, when to cheer. Does it matter? How about the peers? Will there be a knight on a charger to fight for them? And, ''unbuckling the belts'' - does it solve any problems, or is it more so the prior cause of them?

Additional Considerations

Besides, keep in mind, it isn''t even a native speaker telling this story!
