Review The selections here, varied as they are, share the quiet, profound, and rich experiences of people writing on the most innocent years, transcendent of cultural boundaries. Reading this book is a travel across the globe with an impressive group of worldly citizens. --Morten Ender, PhD, Professor of Sociology, United States Military Academy at West PointI recommend this book to all parents who are creating TCKs; to teachers and professors of TCKs; for general reading and understanding of the making of a citizen of the world; and, finally, to TCKs themselves, who will see that their experiences are shared with many others. --Linda A. Garvelink, President, Foreign Service Youth FoundationThis book is an essential contribution to the discussion of migration and the art of finding a home between borders. In vivid prose, the authors reveal the value of cultural negotiation and the complexity of identities formed on the margins. --Neela Vaswani, PhD, Author of You Have Given Me a Country Read more About the Author Gene H.

A Place of Understanding
Highly recommend this collection of articles for those seeking to understand the TCK experience, whether personally or to support others. I am using this as a major resource for my graduate research project on TCKs and childhood losses and it is both academic and readable. And yes, I bought it brand new but it's a book I will keep in my permanent collection. Worth every cent!

One TCK to another
I am working on my own memoirs about growing up as a third culture kid. This book gave me a lot of insight and a lot to think about. Most helpful to me were the various essays by other adult third culture kids that were included.
