Fans of the self-discovering journeys in Cheryl Strayed's Wild and Andrew McCarthy's The Longest Way Home will love diving into linguist Linda Murphy Marshall's adventure-filled international journey as she overcomes her past to find her place in the worldall over the world.
Immersion is a memoir that takes the reader on a captivating emotional and physical journey through Linda Murphy Marshall's life: from the longstanding, crippling impact of family members' low expectations and abuse, to her discovery as a young adult that she possesses special skills in foreign languages.
Linda is taught from an early age that she has little of value to offer the world. But her love of and affinity for languages enables her to create a new lifeto separate herself from her toxic environment and to build a successful, decades-long career as a professional multilinguist. It's a rewarding vocation, but a challenging one: her assignments with the US federal government take her on some hair-raisingly dangerous journeys, some to countries with unstable governments and even active war zones. But these sometimes-harrowing experiences teach her how to open the "windows" around her, unearth her true self, and develop a healthy sense of self-worthand ultimately, paradoxically, her work and travel so far from home allow her to come home to herself.
