Our Book
A mother daughter trip to Prague sparked conversations that led to their co-authored book
“Where Are You From?”
“Where Are You From?”
This question, although seemingly simple, can make you feel lonely, disconnected, confused, and can often create an inner turmoil. Your answer to this question, where are you from, touches at the soul of who you are as it is woven into the perceptions of your identity.
As you turn the pages of our book you are offered a window into the thoughts and struggles of both a mother and daughter dealing with the common issues that arise from the question where are you from. You will lean into their experiences and connect them to yours. You will deep dive with the authors as they share their struggles and challenges faced as culturally blended people. And then, like the authors, you too will be able to find the insights and strategies to move forward to tell your story on your terms.

“A recurrent element in their story is the backdrop of a vacation in Prague. The city weaves through their narratives and provides context and purpose to their dialogue, a city that they explore together as they explore the central question of the multicultural background of each of them.
How do you answer the question, “Where are you from?” They dive into this question and the nuances of all its answers.”
— Jean Ranahan
“A must-read for all of us interested in understanding the new dynamics of our societies, and contributing to making these changes a bit easier and much better.
The book addresses one of the most challenging aspects of modern identity: the blending of cultures in a person’s background.”
