Expatriating to a new country is exciting, but it can also be daunting.
If you are about to embark on your first trip as a `trailing spouse', then you could probably do with some reassurance from someone who knows the ropes.
In case you don't meet that `someone' immediately, a copy of Expat Women: Confessions, will make an excellent first companion.
Expat Women: Confessions, 50 Answers to your Real-Life Questions about Living Abroad, is the brainchild of Andrea Martins & Victoria Hepworth who are also the founders of the website of the same name.
Confessions is presented in a question and answer format and focuses on the most common problems faced by expat women every day.
Issues like dealing with loneliness and coping with the loss of professional identity, as well as the more serious problems of alcoholism, domestic violence and infidelity are all dealt with sensitively.
Both authors are seasoned expats in their own right, as well as expat wives with children, and with the benefit of their combined experience, each question is answered constructively, providing practical advice and information along the way.
A comprehensive Resources section includes an invaluable list of books and websites for the rookie, or veteran expat alike.
There isn't much that Andrea Martins & Victoria Hepworth don't know about relocating worldwide and Expat Women: Confessions is their latest gift to the expat sisterhood.

Format:Paperback
I've just finished reading this fabulous book, and I really enjoyed it. It's full of all the advice I wish I'd had when I first moved abroad (I had no idea what I was getting myself into!) Even after living as an expat for the past 3 1/2 years, I still have my days when I feel I'm in way over my head, and I found some really helpful advice for some of those things I'm still struggling with.
Also had a fabulous section about repatriation, which I hadn't even considered is going to be just as difficult when the time comes.

They know they are leading a charmed life, often with housing and schooling paid for them, free flights home and the chance to experience life in an exotic location. But, for many, this golden-handcuff life has many problems that, when faced overseas, are compounded. Things such as raising a special needs child, being pregnant in a third world country, being homesick, losing your identity and so on. Inspired by the popular Expat Confessions page on the wonderful Expatwomen.com website, this book is a celebration of the growing popularity of the site and the tremendous help, support and inspiration it gives to expat women everywhere. Find her 50 real life 'confessions' and 50 indepth answers that will really help. For here, the agony aunt, is a professional counsellor and the advice detailed and valuable.
Find yourself in this book, find your dilemma and find the answers you seek but dare not ask for.

Valuable Resource for Ex-pats.
I am sure this book is a valuable resource of information for Ex Pat Women in general, just not for me. I do not really fit into any of the categories, except as an `Empty Nester'. Read more
