Pieces of Purple is an ode to
the beauty and complexity of Third Culture Kids. It goes beyond the
usual inventory of TCK strengths and challenges, uncovering foundational
truths that shape this community’s sense of self, world, and God.
Blending memoir, research, and storytelling, Michèle Phoenix draws
on a lifetime as a Missionaries’ Kid and more than three decades
working with Third Culture Kids to paint a compelling and compassionate
portrait, inviting the reader to explore fifteen formative aspects of
the MK and TCK experience that influence how this people group uniquely
navigates identity, hardship, and spirituality.
More than anything, Pieces of Purple
is a celebration of the immeasurable gift of growing up between worlds.
It empowers Global Nomads to better understand their unique traits and
needs, and equips those who walk alongside them to love them more wholly
and effectively.
