Ruby, a young woman who grew up on the beautiful Pacific paradise island nation of Tonga, relocated to Canada, married a man from Nepal and raised two children in a newly blended world of three cultures. Along the way, she discovered that homesickness can deeply impact and even define someone’s cross-cultural experience. Ruby shares with us how much simple things and personal relationships can create a feeling of home to someone for whom home has gradually become a challenge to define. Marcia and Lisle consider the little things that have meant home to them in their own intercultural experiences.
