Third Culture Kid Life started here, with The Illusive Home.
The Illusive Home is the groundwork for a larger, more in depth work. It is a collection defining the importance of culture and what it means to be part of the Third Culture Kid community. It attempts to explain what it means to be a Third Culture Kid, the effects that growing up in a Third Culture has on our lives, and why all of these life-changing events have created the people we are today.
This collection started off as a free one, but since its completion, it has been converted into an ebook available for 2.99 in the Amazon store. It is available for purchase at the following links:
UK Kindle: Buy The Illusive Home here
US Kindle: Buy The Illusive Home here
EU Kindle: Buy The Illusive Home here
If you were a reader of The Illusive Home prior to its completion and would like a copy, let me know and I will have a copy sent your way as a PDF for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for reading, and thanks for all your support over the course of The Illusive Home‘s and Third Culture Kid Life‘s development.

James, just bought The Illusive Home on Amazon.com and hope to read some of it in the days ahead. Couldn’t find you on Twitter, or an email on your site. If you get a chance, my website email is linda@adventuresinexpatland.com. If you drop a line, I’ve got some info to share re a book project about TCK writings. Thanks Linda

Hi James, I’m very interested in reading your book The Illusive Home, but I don’t have a kindle. Are you planning to publish it in some other format? And: I’m looking for a bibliography about ATCK’s writing about their experience of raising TCK’s. I would appreciate any kind of help. – Ute
Ute, thanks for reading TCK Life and I’m glad to see you’re interested in The Illusive Home. I am currently in the process of getting approval for Google to post it in the Google Play store, but until then it is in limbo on other devices. If the book is intended for research purposes, I would be happy to send you a free version of the book as a PDF. If this is the case, please feel free to email me at james@thirdculturekidlife.com and I will send you a copy. As for ATCK writing, I have a few that I follow. Cecelia Haynes writes Unsettled TCK which is an excellent work with a healthy collection of images that will light up TCK minds. Her blog can be found here; http://www.ceciliahaynes.com/. Also, Janet Abercrombie writes a great collection about being an expat educator, primarily working as an expatirate but also teaching developing TCKs. Her collection can be found here; http://expateducator.com/.
Please feel free to email me with any questions, comments, concerns, that would help you in any way. I am happy to provide any information I can, so don’t hesitate to write. Again, my contact email is:
james@thirdculturekidlife.com
Thank you for the hints. I’ve subscribed to the two blogs already (they’re great!). I intend to use your book for research purposes – I’ll write you a mail. Thanks a lot! Ute
