Simply a wonderful book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
My husband purchased this book for me because I was having trouble accepting an upcoming move. At first I was hesitant because, after moving so many times, what else was there for me to learn? I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a very easy read, and the author makes you feel as if she's speaking directly to you, understanding your fears and frustrations. This book can be especially helpful for someone facing their first move. And also be advised, this book is based on the Christian faith and relying on it to help you through your move. For me, it was a definite plus.
Excellent resource for Christian relocating women

A kind person gave this book to me as a moving gift. I did not have time to read it until I was in my new home for about a month. Feeling really blue, I picked it up one night after I got the kids to bed. I could not believe that my feelings were ok! There are many women who had relocated many more times than me who explain and acknowledge their feelings in this book. There are wonderful tips to help you get started in your new town. For me, that was just what I needed to help me through this move. There are Bible passages and quotes in it that you can choose to use or not. They are just a bonus to the personal insights written in the book. I highly recommend the book for relocating women who are trying to balance their roles and lives.
Great Relocation Guide

How did reviewer #1 not see that this was a book written from a Christian perspective? It says Focus on the Family on both front & back covers and has testimonials from women involved in ministry on one of the first pages.Anyway, it's a wonderful and encouraging read if you find yourself uprooted. Transition is usually difficult and this a good, fun book filled with ideas on how to adjust to your new environment.
Excellent tool for helping with the blues after moving.

As a wife who had to pick up and move numerous times Susan knows the pain of saying good bye and relocating to a new unfamiliar area. This book truly helped me as a military wife get through the grieving period of leaving special friends behind and coping and getting on with life in my new surroundings. I have given several copies away to people new to the area and lonely for what they left behind. Done in a Christian perspective and filled with wisdom from the Bible.
Ideal book for helping adjust after being uprooted.

Susans book reflects from her personal experience the struggles women go through uprooting and leaving behind so many wonderful friends and mnemories. I have moved several times as an Army wife and it has gotten harder through the years. This book offered encouragement and comfort and helpful tools for 'moving on' and adjusting to your new environment.This is an excellent gift to give to someone who has just moved in from out of town.
