This formative period, including a tumultuous departure and subsequent culture shock upon returning to the United States, imbues her writing with a deep understanding of displacement and adaptation. Myers crafts compelling narratives that explore the nuances of cultural encounters and the strength found in navigating vastly different worlds.
