Overview

What happens when you feel like you've had enough of your adventures and just want to go home, but you don't know where that is anymore because you've spent more than half your life living abroad in various places? Transcontinental Overload tells the story of a British-German family that left England for the United States - a move that was supposed to be only temporary, but turned into something entirely different. The author takes us on her journey of self-discovery as she raises her family across multiple cultures and locations, observing cultural differences, learning new social behaviours, navigating demanding transitions, and dealing with her children's and her own mental health struggles and the discovery of neurodivergence. From England to California, to Texas, and then to New Jersey, with a brief stint back in England in the middle, it's a story about wanderlust, loneliness, grief, resilience, and the interesting, exhausting and exhilarating discoveries that accompany life in another country. Told with humour, unflinching honesty and quiet strength, this memoir is a story of what happens when life doesn't go according to plan, and how, somewhere between the meltdowns and the miles, you learn to make a home anyway. It's a story about searching for belonging in liminal spaces.
