"From the Far Side of the Sun" is an example of what true friendship can mean if you have the courage to reach out and embrace it. To forge the bonds of friendship and to hold that friendship close to your heart. To share your experiences, each becoming a stronger person for having shared those experiences with the other. True friendship is a rare thing. Few have the courage to reach out and grab it, to hold on to it. To even recognize that it has been offered to them. To realize that their lives would be richer for having had it. True friendship is to be there for the other in times of adversity as well as joy. True friendship is a precious thing to be guarded like a valued treasure.

I had to smile when I read From the Far Side of the Sun, as it reminded me of my many years in the Marine Corps. Seldom did we stay in one place for more than two years. My smile, however, soon turned to a sad awareness as I looked back at the selfishness in my life. When reading this book, I realized the enormous problem it was for my wife who (most of the time) did all the packing and all of the hard work that I took for granted. I never once thought about the loneliness my wife felt living in a foreign country. I had my work, but she had nothing. The relationship with the Houston housewife was nothing short of a miracle in this clever, honest, and original book. If you want to know what friendship is all about, this is a truly a delightful read. Both the good and the bad are brought out in this non-fiction story of true friendship. These two women are tough. They are true survivors. A must read book that will leave you laughing and crying. Ms. Maguire's book is definitely a wake-up call to the many spouses of those who move to foreign countries. Military personnel and travel agents should recommend this book to all parties who intend to move their families to a foreign country.
