Katherine Paterson was the daughter of missionaries in China, where as a little kid she had access to everyone‘s houses, home life, how people live.

I’ve noticed that not a few writers I’ve liked had this early phase of childhood elsewhere. Whether as missionaries’ kids or ambassadors’ kids or whatever.
