Ever wonder…who am I?

So did Lois. When she turned nine she told people she was from Indiana because after immigrating to America her third grade teacher pointed out India was not on the map of the 50 United States, she must mean Indiana.

It really was much easier. After all her Armenian father born in Cyprus was working as a missionary in India when he met her Danish mother born in Denmark who was teaching at a boarding school. Who would believe her?

Raised in a clash of cultures, Lois grows up trying to be like everyone around her. Initially motivated by fear she progresses to people pleasing that creeps into control, until her life unravels. When she finally embraces her hybrid history, lives out the faith she never let go of, and engages in relationships with truth, she begins to understand why she is who she is, and she’s still working on it.

Hybrid: the transformation of a cross-cultural people pleaser is a self-deprecating and poignant memoir about an Armenian-Danish girl who really did believe the American dream and became an award-winning anchor and reporter on radio and television stations in San Francisco, Denver and Houston. Lois Melkonian speaks and blogs on her website Angels with Shoes about how every story matters, even hers, and how telling yours changes everything.
