BUENA PARK, Calif. (PinionNewswire) — BUENA PARK, Calif. — August 11, 2025 — Xulon Press is pleased to announce the release of An American Living in Germany by Joan Andrews Wilson, a captivating memoir that brings readers along on her two-year adventure in Europe.
In her early twenties, Wilson embraced the opportunity to live and work in Germany, where she stayed with a local family and used every spare weekend to explore the continent by train. What began as heartfelt letters home to her parents grew into a lifelong record of travel, culture, and discovery — eventually becoming the foundation for her new book.
“After reading the letters I wrote to my parents, I was inspired to write the book,” said Wilson.
A Journey of Faith, Work, and Exploration
During her time abroad, Wilson worked for Gerhard Collardin in Germany and participated in the World Congress on Evangelism in Berlin. Upon returning to the United States, she continued her service as a secretary in the Billy Graham office in Atlanta, Georgia.
Her story highlights not only the excitement of European travel but also the depth of cross-cultural experiences, faith connections, and lifelong memories. Today, Wilson and her husband, Kent, continue their love for travel — particularly enjoying safaris in Africa.
