description: 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.
