Let me show you my home. It is a border. It is the outer edge of both sides. It is where we drew the line. They drew the line right through me. I would like to file a territorial dispute.

Introduction

Have you ever felt like the persona you inhabit in front of people isn't quite who you really are?

Many factors have a profound impact on our ideas of who we are: our origins, our ancestors, and the words others use to describe us.

In this memoir, writer Nadia Owusu explores the depths of identity and the feelings we can encounter when our roots feel shaky.

Having lived in Ghana, Tanzania, the United Kingdom, America, and many other countries, Owusu's story is one of learning to understand where she fit in.

Owusu examines the aspects that make up a human identity and how we can learn to come to terms with what makes us, us.
