About this ebook

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.

Author

Caroline Kurtz

Caroline Kurtz lived in Ethiopia from ages 5-18. She returned to teach for six years in Addis Ababa. That story, including boarding school, three armed changes of government, and the shaping of her adventurous personality, is told in her first book, A Road Called Down on Both Sides: Growing up in America and Ethiopia. After her husband Mark died in 2013, Caroline started a nonprofit organization to bring solar energy and women’s development to Maji, still beyond the grid, in the corner of Ethiopia where she grew up. Modern technology allows her to connect to staff in Maji from Portland, Oregon, where she lives. She travels to Ethiopia several times a year. See DevelopMaji.org for more information.
