Military brats, global nomads, missionary kids, and others who have spent some years overseas–whether in childhood or as adults–will be interested in this collection of essays by authors who have lived overseas, raised children in other cultures, or conducted social-scientific studies of internationally mobile children and families. This anthology presents varied perspectives on the effects of living overseas and coming “home” to a country that seems just as foreign as the one left behind. Includes useful advice for parents seeking to help their children–especially teenagers–cope with the experience of reentry and fitting in.
