Everyone knows that laughter is the best medicine, but Forced to
Fly is more than a collection of funny stories about the seeing the
funny side of the day to day blunders we all make. It is packed
with stories that resonate with anyone who has lived abroad Its
opening chapters, written by experts, counsellors and real-life
expats who have struggled with culture shock, will provide support
and advice to guide you through any dark patches. When the first
edition came out I had no idea that it would find its way into
corporate goodie bags for relocating employees, nor that people
would call me up, saying, "Help, my daughter-in-law has just moved
to Dubai and is not doing so well. Can you send her a book,
please?" In this second edition, we have added a chapter on
emotional resilience in addition to more than 20 new stories for
you to enjoy from new writers such as Jack Scott, whose memoir,
Perking the Pansies, has been shortlisted for the Polaris prize and
the hilarious Debbie Fletcher, author of Bitten by Spain. Blogger
contributors AdventuresInExpatland, DisparateHuisvrouw, WordGeyser
and IWasAnExpatWife make this a thoroughly modern version of an old
favourite. "A must-have book for expats everywhere. A unique mix of
practical advice and funny stories that everyone will relate to."
Toni Summers-Hargis, author of Rules, Britannia and blogger at
Expat Mum - http: //expatmum.blogspot.com 'I would love to have had
it with me when I left home ten years ago for the first time."
Laura J Stephens, author of An Inconvenient Posting, an expat
wife's memoir of lost identity - www.laurajstephens.com
"Delightfully relevant. A cleverly crafted collection of expatriate
stories and advice, including the good, the bad and the hilarious
side of international living. Perfect for global nomads looking to
feel connected through shared experiences." Alison Cavatore,
Founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Global Living Magazine -
