Chameleon
This novel revolves around six “third-culture” friends living in San Francisco. A city of beauty, self-driving cars, and tech bros as they navigate the ups and downs of culture, relationships, work, and personal growth. These six friends are Ela, Ethan, Fin, Zara, Maya, and Riley. Zara is an African woman who immigrated to the United States. In her newly adopted country, Zara lives a third-culture life. Ethan grew up in a household where his mom is Jewish, and his dad is Christian. Growing up in a household with two beliefs under one roof, Ethan had to develop a third culture. Ela has two parents, each with opposite political beliefs. Dad is a staunch Republican, and Mom is a strong Democrat. In a quest to understand where they fit in, Ela lives a third-culture life.
Maya is a black woman married to a white man; this relationship creates a third-culture. Fin is a gay man who moved from Balltown, Iowa, a small town, in search of a better life in San Francisco — a big city. Fin recently came out as gay to his parents. As soon as Dad received the news, it was embraced with love and warmth, but the Mom’s reaction was fire and fury of icy chill intolerance. Due to the dynamic of his parents, Fin lives in a third culture. And finally, Riley was born and raised in a mixedrace household. Her mom is Japanese, and her Dad is white, creating a third-culture for Riley. Come on a journey as we delve into how these characters fit in by not fitting in. And how they toast to their unique individualities and realize that if they were any more diverse, they’d be a United Nations peace treaty.
