Biographies
This memoir by a debut writer explores the unique experiences of children who grow up surrounded by a culture that is different than the culture of their parents--third-culture kids, who never belong in either their parents' culture or the culture that surrounded and nourished them as children. It also explores the distinct shame, sorrow, heritage, joys, and spiritual realities of people whose parents made full-time careers in religious work. Should interest readers of memoirs of growing up in Africa (like Alexandra Fuller), growing up outside of your parents' home culture, spiritual memoirs, and memoirs about finding home, finding a place where you belong. The memoir also explores universal themes of mother-daughter and sister relationships, examining expectations for women's behavior that persist well into the present.
