Embassy Kid: An American Foreign Service Family Memoir follows Robert and Nancy Amerson, a courageous couple from the American Heartland, and their two daughters as they carry out the mission of the US Information Agency to “win hearts and minds for democracy” in Latin America and Europe during the Cold War. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Foreign Service, Embassy Kid pays timely tribute to our diplomats and their families who sacrifice safety, security, and stability while representing America thousands of miles from home.
