Adult Third Culture Kid author Kathleen Gamble grew up in a world of constant change.

Born in Asia to U.S. expat parents, everything was temporary when she was growing up.

Adult Third Culture Kid author Kathleen Gamble grew up in a world of constant change.

Her recently published book “Echoes of a Global Life” chronicles her moving from city to city, saying goodbye to one and starting to explore the next. Never two the same.

Through trauma, including a plane crash and other scary times, there is also humor. Gamble’s book takes readers from Burma to the USA, Mexico, Colombia, Nigeria, Switzerland and Russia.

Her family lived through a coup in Burma, student rioting in Colombia, two coups in Nigeria and political unrest in Russia.

Sometimes things were fabulous, and sometimes they were not. As an adult, she lived in Moscow for nine years during the 1990s where she witnessed history in the making and a terrifying exit. Life was never boring.

“Echoes of a Global Life” is available in Paperback and ebook.
