Journalist Bernick speaks from the firsthand experience of her 18-month sojourn in Mexico with her husband and two children. In her case, "sabbatical" had nothing to do with academia; she and
her husband saved money for three years and then quit jobs in the US in order to live abroad, send their kids to Mexican schools, and work on their own writing projects. This compendium offers
guidance for those considering similar or not-so-similar endeavors, and it includes practical information for planning and preparation as well as description of feelings and family dynamics
(how to get through the rough spots). The resources section includes some books and many websites. Annotation 穢2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
