Between Two Worlds

Between Two Worlds by LeAnne Hardy is about a girl named Cristina, a missionary kid (mk). Her family serves God in Brazil. She's trying to fit in. She loves Brazil, and can't let go. She thinks her family doesn't care about her. I enjoyed this book because I can relate to her. My parents are missionaries to Eurasia. I can understand the hard times she went through. I enjoyed her character. She liked to have fun and to hang out with friends. I believe that LeAnne Hardy is sending a message of faith. Faith in people, faith in God, and in yourself. We all go through hard times. The author probably wrote this because of hard times. She is a missionary. Her kids probably go through the same things. It does feel weird to be different. Growing up in one place, then moving to a different country is hard. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a shoulder to lean on. Anyone who is desperate for God. Anyone who fels like crying for hours. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little faith. Again faith in themselves, people and God. This book was touching. It was so good I couldn't put it down. I do believe it was good from beginning to end.

When I read this book I felt like re-lived some of my own transitions to the U.S. as a fellow Missionary Kid from Brazil. It spoke truth about both the joys and the frustrations that comes from being bi-cultural. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is an MK or cares about MKs and their lives. Enjoy!
