"These essays are also a lament over the places we call home, and the way they are embedded with not only beauty, but also pain and loss." -- This line is so good.
Pre-ordering now- found your page through @jenpollockmichel. Even though you speak about Kansas I can resonate the Pass-through place as a TCK- my whole life has been about the in-between place and the constant grieving for things I never imagined I would lose.
It's lovely to have you here! Although this book is mostly about KS, I'm currently living abroad and raising TCKs, so I can relate to those tensions in a new way. There are so many in-between seasons (and griefs that come with them). Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your own experience.
I so appreciate meeting those who are on the same journey. A lot of my writing has been about living in the tension of that in-between space. Our children are not technically TCK’s , but they have been raised in a home & family that is culturally different from the country & our diaspora community is also filled with TCK’s so watching them navigate life as young adults and figuring things out is hard. But as a Christ follower, we are all called to live in the tension and the in-between space so that gives me comfort and hope.
Yeah!! Maybe I’ll get a chance to read this actually in Kansas sometime as we travel!!
That would be so fun! I can't wait to hear about your KS adventures.
So so so happy for this!
Just pre-ordered and I can't wait! Congratulations!!!!
Yes, yes, yes!
I. can. hardly. wait.
Grateful for you!

The beauty and the loss are often so close to each other. Thank you, Megan.

Oh and the grief! I am working on an essay on grieving and it’s been hard to write.
Beautiful, Jenna! I'm looking forward to your book. 💗
Thank you so much, Erin!
LOVE the cover! Can’t wait!
Thank you for your encouragement, Aly!
