China Mishkid
My Life as a Missionary Kid in China (1938–1955)
by A. Donald MacLeod


This true story of growing up under the turmoil of war in the Far East raises important questions. How far is it justified to risk the life and wellbeing of a child so that parents can fulfil their calling? How helpful is it to be called a “third culture kid”? Can such children be prepared for re-entry into their passport country? What if parents themselves struggle with questions of national identity and personal fulfilment ? This easy-read is an honest yet hopeful account of one boy’s experiences.
