I have read them all and I could not  put the books down there was so much information that I found very useful.  There were many stories, even though they were all over the world you realize that they are still similar situations.  Some stories were just entertaining.  Great resource for those that are moving to another country or many countries.  Another must have.

A must have expat book for women

Expat Women: Confessions – 50 Answers to Your Real-Life Questions about Living Abroad

Click image for a free sample of the book

I have posted before about this book coming out and I have read it.

My Review:

Great book!  It is a collection of the challenges expat women face and then some very useful advice is given.  There is nothing better than get advice from other women that have been there and done that.   This book covers  a variety of  topics and answers that many women are experiencing when they move to a new country.   Everything from careers, relationships, children to physical / emotional problems  and moving back.  It is easy to read and very well organized.  I would say a must read for those that will and have already moved to a new country.                 Purchase at Amazon
