Between Two Worlds

By LeAnne Hardy

Cristina Larson is American. Or is she? She grew up in Brazil and feels more Brazilian than American. Jason is the one who is American. Or is he? His grandmother came from Korea, and he doesn't look like his Swedish-American neighbors in Rum River, Minnesota. And sometimes being different can be downright dangerous.

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.

A book that shares the heart of Missonary Kids....

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!
