Every once in a while, a book comes and from the moment you read its description, you know that it's going to be one of your latest favorites. That's how I felt about Carol Moreira's "Culture Shock."

Fortunate enough to be given an advance copy, "Culture Shock" is set in1995 and shares the story of three dynamic women: a recently divorced mother, her teenage daughter, and their Filipina amah, who confront crises in their lives in Hong Kong as the territory for Chinese rule. Without spoiling much, Culture Shock explores the "vulnerability we all feel living in foreign lands, and the courage needed to overcome trauma in new culture."
