Summary: LOOMING TRANSITIONS is a navigational book for those processing a cross-cultural move. It is not a “how-to” book. There are no lists of what you should do or pack; instead, it is a book that outlines ways to process emotions. Amy’s knowledge and insights on this topic come from her experience of moving overseas and repatriating back to the United States. There is a workbook that can be used for individual use, but Amy has also written another workbook for families to use with their children.

My Thoughts: I have read several books of Amy’s and enjoy her candid, transparent voice. It feels like you are sitting across from her, drinking coffee and talking about hard things. This book brought up some emotions from past moves that I thought I had processed but needed more work on. So, even if you have moved several times, it might be a resource for you to help process those moves. I glanced over the workbook and activity book but did not use them. So, I cannot honestly say how useful they were to me personally.
