Die Fremde: Novelle (1904)

With so much life ahead of them, the shipmates from the Endless Pleasure must go on. Alone with his thoughts and an empty home, Roland seeks friendship and meaning after Felicia’s stunning death. He is an angry, confused, and sad young widower who is faced with the stress of an upcoming murder trial. So he turns to Bob for solace, a young priest who now doubts his vocation and is headed for burnout. Tina is locked away in a mental treatment center until the trial begins. Have she and her bewildered husband Rex figured out a way to beat the murder rap? Nigel and Julie are together, kind of. Nigel likes his freedom. Julie is needy. She is haunted by the sight of Felicia dying on the streets of New Orleans. John and Deborah are the same happy folks, or are they? The trial gives them a chance to reconnect with those who wish to survive the ultimate cruising experience. The Endless Pleasure has docked, but the drama continues. Fun and adventure are replaced by grief and healing. A fresh start and a few more surprises await all of those who attend A Playground Reunion.
