“Third Culture Kids (TCKs) have typically spent a significant part of their upbringing crossing cultures. Their experiences can make it challenging to find, form, and sustain a sense of belonging to place and to people. Belonging Beyond Borders supports the journey of Adult Third Culture Kids in unpacking what it means to belong in their multiple communities: personal, professional, familial, cultural, spiritual.

Questions and self-reflection exercises invite you to get curious about how to belong, where to belong, and why to belong. Using analogies from the garden, Megan creates imagery for you to explore patterns in belonging and opportunities for belonging. As an Adult TCK, Megan shares in a deeply spiritual and cultural way how she has navigated and grown in belonging to people and to place. In a polarized world, this book offers love and encouragement about how to see and bridge differences.”
