Hidden Immigrants: Legacies of Growing Up Abroad

Except for a brief introduction to each chapter by the author, this book uses excerpts from interviews with thirteen adult TCKs to paint a picture of life as a TCK. It addresses some of the common strengths and struggles, as well as offering stories about what helped these TCKs overcome challenges they encountered, and what they would do differently if they raised their own children overseas. Some of the chapters are “Staying in Touch with Who I Was, When…” and “Serious Commitments, Marriage and Career,” and “Why Do I Feel so Migratory?”
