Culture Shock! : Successful Living Abroad : A Wife's Guide Robin Pascoe
With bags packed, crates shipped out, children briefed, parents consoled, you are ready for life in a foreign country. All is fine until initial excitement gives way to fear and doubt. "Will I be accepted" "Will the children fit in?" "Will I be able to get a job?" "Will the people understand they way I speak?" "Will they have my favorite brand of denture cleaner?" Your worries, guilt, resentment and secret aspirations surface and you cannot cope. Take heart, you are not alone. (Amazon)

Culture Shock! Successful Living Abroad: Living and Working Abroad Monica Rabe
Whether for the career opportunities, the chance to experience a new culture or a combination of the two, living and working in a foreign country can be a rewarding experience for the expatriate family. But for the unwary and unprepared, it can be an unpleasant experience, as it strains relationships and tests the tolerance of the new foreigner. Culture Shock!: Living and Working Abroad will give anyone contemplating a move to another country a headstart in avoiding and absorbing the effects of culture shock in their new home. From finding accommodation to operating effectively in the workplace, Monica Rabe identifies the problems commonly encountered the expatriate and offers ways of overcoming and avoiding them.
