What does someone from a place called Tittenkofen, who doesn't quite fit the stereotype, do? Growing up on a farm but actually wanting to be on stage? Of course, she takes it with humor and becomes a comedian. In her book, Monika Gruber reflects on her childhood and youth in the countryside near Erding. She shares stories that are sometimes bitterly funny and sometimes touching and nostalgic, where she grumbles, jokes, reminisces, and also gossips, but never denounces, because she loves the land and its people too much for that.
