<sup>Liesel Wilhelmina Bittermann was the lovechild between a gruff German factory worker and an adventurous American hitchhiker. Liesel’s mother, Diane, had the smallest hint of German in her and spent all her college savings to “get in touch with her roots”. Martin, a romantic at heart, was immediately smitten with the small-town American girl. After a week with Martin, Diane was sending a letter to her parents that said something along the lines of “I’m in love and I’m not coming home. XOXO, Diane”.

After dating for three months, Diane and Martin married and settled down in Dortmund, Germany. There, Diane gave birth to Liesel. For the first five years of Liesel’s life, they lived in a small, cramped apartment in Dortmund. However, even after living in Germany for six years, Diane hadn’t been able to pick up the language. With her German being abysmal, Diane was incapable of keeping a job, and couldn’t help support the family. Struggling financially, Diane and Martin began arguing over money – Diane, frustrated with the foreign environment, and Martin, annoyed at being the only one supporting them. One day, in a huff, Diane booked a plane ticket back to the states and took little Liesel with her.

Diane rejoined her family in Waynesville, Ohio with her daughter. Diane’s parents were bitter about her six-year disappearance but welcomed her and Liesel back home anyways. Being only five at the time, Liesel was taken care of by her grandmother while Diane and her grandfather worked. When Liesel was of age, she was enrolled in the local public school. The kids often made fun of her for her German accent, and Liesel became more withdrawn and quieter. Every day after school, Liesel stood in front of a mirror and practiced an American accent. Gradually, she begun to lose her accent, and Liesel tried to assimilate as much as she could into American life. By the time she was fifteen, Liesel was as American as they come.</sup>

<sup>When Liesel was fifteen years old, her mother was contacted by her father. It was the first time Diane had talked to Martin since she left Germany. Martin had risen in a high position for a chemical company, and they sent him to manage the US branch. The headquarters of the US branch happened to be near Palm Beach, Florida. They corresponded for a few months through emails and phone calls, until one day Diane decided to reunite with Martin.

At this time in her life, Liesel was used to her mother’s impulsivity – some could even say Liesel inherited it. Despite the protests from her parents, Diane brought Liesel to Palm Beach, Florida where they moved in with Martin. Having never officially divorced, Diane and Martin slipped back into married life easily. It helped that, with Martin’s high position in the company, money was no longer a point of contention. Liesel, however, struggled with the new arrival of her father. Much to his dismay, most of her German culture had been forgotten, and Martin often tried to instill German culture around the house.

As if adjusting to her father being back into her life wasn’t enough, Liesel had to adjust to the newness of King’s Academy. She entered the school as a sophomore with her father’s new wealth. Most of the time, Liesel was the quiet girl and kept to herself, though she had a few friends and crushes.

Things between Liesel and her father only grew worse as the years went on. Despite wanting to connect with her German heritage, she resented her father for rigorously drilling German into her life. At home, she was forbidden from speaking English, and other ridiculous rules. On top of that, her father expected her to get a degree in chemical engineering so she could eventually work for him under his company. This was something that Liesel, with her head in the clouds and her pen in her hand, obviously did not want to do.

After graduation, Liesel went to college as far from her father as she could.</sup>

<sup>College was a time to reinvent herself. Instead of worrying about her German or American identity, Liesel was content to just exist as she was. She majored in English and dreamt of putting pen to paper – she hoped to be one of the greats one day. Shedding the skin she has worn her entire life, Liesel tunneled all of her energy into creativity and chaos. College was her wild years and her impulsivity had her running rampant.

Liesel tried to keep in contact with her friends from high school, but after a year of shallow correspondence, Liesel went dark. She focused on her new life and friends; unexpectedly, Liesel had even joined a sorority.

After getting her undergraduate, Liesel pursued a graduate overseas to further her education. She attended the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. Determined to hone her craft, Liesel dove into her studies and much of her inspiration came from writers during the Romantic Era.

However, it seems history is doomed to repeat.

Her friends had talked her into going to a bar one night, to take a break from studying. There, she met Jeremy. Jeremy was everything that Liesel had ever read about – a gentleman with dark hair and eyes. Like her mother and father, it was a whirlwind romance and Liesel became obsessed. Jeremy was a little older than her and worked as an electrician. They began dating and, like fine sand between her fingers, Liesel’s grades began slipping. So caught up in Jeremy, Liesel could barely care when she flunked out of her graduate program.

Jeremy and Liesel married after five months of dating. She stayed in England with him in a two-bedroom apartment with a dog named Percy. They didn’t fight much, and if they did they resolved it in a few hours. Liesel worked as a waitress while working on her great novel that she surely would get inspiration for eventually. It didn’t matter that it wasn’t the life Liesel planned for herself, she was happy with Jeremy.

Then, Jeremy served her the divorce papers. They had been married for five years; the last few months had been rocky, but Liesel was sure they could work things out. Jeremy wanted to move on to bigger and better things – namely, his co-worker, Jessica. The divorce papers hurt, but it was the discovery of his six month long affair that gutted her.

Liesel moved back to Ohio, to live with her grandparents. She got a teaching license and begun to teach high school English class. Bitter and cynical, she spent most of her time pulling weeds out of her grandparents’ garden and feeding the chickens.

Of course, at the lowest point in her life, Liesel gets the letter to the reunion. She hadn’t wanted to go, almost refused, but her grandparents insisted on her attending – mostly to get her out of their house for a little bit.</sup>
