Must-have book for families

Her words, and those of others who have contributed to this thoughtfully collated work, are based on factual background details and sound common sense.

Wise counsel is offered on how best to navigate the hurdles adult children's chosen locations have created; be they geographical or emotional.

Differing time zones mean communication is one of the first stumbling blocks encountered. Once conquered, others become apparent. Ellis provides insight into the forms these take and provides the encouragement to cope.

For any family with members who choose to live overseas, mine included, Ellis' books are a must have. — Jill Nicholas
