Book and Other Writing
Wertsch wrote the book "Military Brats: Legacies of Growing Up Inside the Fortress" that studied and analyzed the lives of 80 American military brats. Through this process, her book identifies military brats as a hidden American subculture, and details patterns in this population along sociological and psychological lines.
Wertsch is currently writing a second book that also discusses military brats, but includes discussion of other types of Third culture children as well. She has stated that the new book will focus on Third culture children and the experience of "Belonging" as this relates to outsider feelings held widely by this population.

“For it is not the bare words but the scope of the writer that gives the true light, by which any writing is to be interpreted; and they that insist upon single texts, without considering the main design, can derive no thing from them clearly.”
