Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds by Ruth E. van Reken, David C. Pollock

Wow...
As an ATCK who grew up between California and Finland, I can relate to so much of what’s written on these pages. I hadn’t heard of the term TCK before 2017, and realizing that such a concept even exists brought me so much comfort. Reading through this has helped me work through so many questions relating to my identity and I’ve began to understand myself and my actions a lot better. This book definitely opened a window for me!
I’m deducting one star because this was really slow at times. The text is often just downright boring, with the excerpts from other TCKs being the best part. But I understand that talking about theory isn’t always exciting.
