Sophia Kennedy was five when she moved from Baltimore, Maryland, to a small village near Göttingen, central Germany. Her mother had always wanted to bring up her three children outside the US, and when she married a German man, the move made sense. Kennedy and her brothers had agreed to keep speaking English at home in order to keep hold of their sense of an American identity; once they started kindergarten, their “soft” young brains quickly learned German. “The other kids would get mad at me if I spoke English because they thought I was talking bad about them,” said Kennedy, “so I always had this sense of guilt when I was speaking English.”
