Strangers at Home: Essays on the Effects of Living Overseas and Coming “Home” to a Strange Land.

A compilation of essays on TCKs’ overseas and re-entry experiences written by some of the best known individuals in this field, this book is unlike other compilations on our website because these are not articles that have not been published elsewhere but essays written specifically for this book. It includes useful advice for parents seeking to help their children (especially teenagers) cope with the experience of returning to the U.S., a country often more
foreign to them than the host country. The chapter on “Religious Culture Shock” by Ruth Van Reken (an MK) will be of particular interest to missionary families.
