Ruth Van Reken, co-author of the landmark Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, tells her own story in this deeply personal memoir written in the form of letters she never sent. Growing up as a missionary kid in Nigeria, she experienced joys and losses she could never fully articulate—until she began writing. This book is both a healing journey and an essential window into the inner world of TCKs, validating the unspoken grief, love, and complexity of cross-cultural childhoods.
