How to build a new life!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
"Having moved across town and across the country on nine (9) occasions from Rochester, NY to all parts of CA, back to Rochester, NY and now to Columbia, MD, I can assure readers that this book offers an island of calm in the "ocean's roar" of the moving experience. Leslie's writing reflects a diverse group of movers who's life experiences pave the way for a more peaceful transition from a loved home to a new house and community. Too often, "movers" are caught up in the process of moving and forget moving is only the first part of uprooting your life and beginning anew. The hardest part is not the move but rather the new beginning. Having a resource that encompasses all parts of your life experience is invaluable. Thanks Leslie!
This book actually made a difference in my actual move.

My last move was only a few blocks but because it came at a time of a lot of other life changes, it was the toughest move of my life. Thank goodness a friend recommended WILL THIS PLACE EVER FEEL LIKE HOME? Thanks to this informative, compassionate book from someone who has been there herself, the answer is a resounding, "Yes!" I am at home in my home today, and I am convinced that without Leslie Levine's book it would have taken a lot longer, if it would have ever happened at all. If you're moving, or if you moved in recent memory and things don't quite feel right, order this book right this minute. And if you have a friend who's moving, forget the wine and candles and potted plant: give him or her WILL THIS PLACE EVER FEEL LIKE HOME? Then expect your friend to send YOU the wine and the candles for giving something that truly made a difference.
This book was very comforting in a time of extreme stress.

Anyone who's ever moved can tell you that packing the boxes is only the tip of the iceberg. I made a point of reading this book when my stress levels reached their peak --- and somehow it calmed me. It seems every fear I had about relocating to another area was discussed in a rational and helpful manner. The author had ideas on everything from helping your children adjust to their new school to how to involve yourself in your new community. I found this book very helpful and would recommend this to everyone !
Great insight on the moving/moved experience.

I found this book to offer excellent perspective on a "moving experience." Not so much the move, but what to do before, during, and after the move. There are lots of books about how to actually move, but this one provided trememdous, useful suggestions for how to become part of a new community... to achieve a sense of belonging. I recommend it highly because of its unique perspective and great quantity of practical advice that anyone can implement to great effect.
a must have book for family relocation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Leslie has captured into one book an insighful, compassionate, and extraordinarily helpful guide for anyone who is contemplating or currently dealing with the uprooting of a relocation. Anyone who has ever done so knows that feeling- "will this place ever feel like home?" Leslie understands those feelings because she's been there herself, and she helps readers feel understood, supported, and assisted. I would recommend this book for anyone who is recently relocated, thinking about it, or as a great holiday gift for someone you know who is doing so.
