Synopsis

An Igbo boy growing up as a foreigner in Zaria, northern Nigeria, Meshack Ilobi never imagined where life would take him. As with any child, his main concerns were on the present: childhood shenanigans, dealing with bullies, and playtimes with his dad. Meshack was also learning to navigate the dual cultures in which he was being raised. Life was beautiful and more or less straightforward. As long as his father (and provider) was present, things were sure to follow a certain path. Until… A tragic change in family circumstances that caused him to be uprooted back to Igboland was the first plot twist that would alter the trajectory of his life. The book Living between Worlds: An Autobiography richly expresses the joys and conflicts experienced by most Third Culture Kids (TCKs) who must figure out how to exist in an in-between space, neither being from the culture of their parents or the culture they find themselves living in. Straddling that divide requires a finesse that is honed over time and with each unique circumstance. Meshack’s autobiography is a tale that will leave you astounded as you journey with him from one situation to the next, trying to understand how everything will fit together. Like a good movie that keeps you guessing, this will prove an exciting and enjoyable read. Both relevant and insightful, this book will bring you to question some of your assumptions about life, your identity, and your future in new ways. In the end, it may cause you to consider that perhaps, as in the case of Meshack, your story is only just beginning.
