Tamar Myers wuchs in Belgisch-Kongo auf, wo ihre Familie als Missionare bei einem Stamm lebte, der für seine einzigartigen Bräuche bekannt war. Das Aufwachsen in einer fremden, aber lebendigen Kultur prägte ihre einzigartige Perspektive, die von Abenteuer und Widerstandsfähigkeit geprägt war. Diese prägende Zeit, einschließlich einer turbulenten Abreise und des anschließenden Kulturschocks nach ihrer Rückkehr in die Vereinigten Staaten, verleiht ihrem Schreiben ein tiefes Verständnis für Vertreibung und Anpassung. Myers schafft fesselnde Erzählungen, die die Nuancen kultureller Begegnungen und die Stärke, die im Umgang mit stark unterschiedlichen Welten liegt, erforschen.
