Eritrean Echoes

Synopsis

What does it mean to belong? For those in the Eritrean diaspora, the answer isn’t always simple. Told from a deeply personal yet universal perspective, this book explores the experience of growing up between two worlds—where Eritrea is both home and a distant place we’ve never fully known. Through reflections on family, language, culture, and generational differences, it captures the struggle of holding onto heritage while navigating life in a new land. From childhood memories shaped by elders' stories to the quiet disconnect of not speaking the language fluently, this book humanizes the realities of the diaspora. It is a journey of self-discovery, a conversation between past and present, and a tribute to those who carry their homeland in their hearts—no matter how far they are from it. For anyone who has ever felt caught between identities, this is a story that understands.
