Wish I could have read it sooner

Although some of the information is a little out of date, I found plenty of useful tips in this book. We had a foreign exchange daughter who ended up leaving because of "culture shock". My copy ended up underlined and highlighted in several places. I feel like we could have helped her more with some of the information I learned. Definately helpful for someone contemplating hosting.
