| Plot Summary of Emails from the Edge |
|---|
"When friendship spans the oceans - Emails from the Edge (The Life of an Expatriate Wife) provides a rare glimpse into the life of an American woman struggling to live in a foreign and alien land. Her life is played against the life of her friend back in the States. Emails from the Edge is a collection of actual emails exchanged between Margie, who was living in Japan, and Sandy, who was living in Houston. To Margie, it seemed a fair exchange to share her exotic experiences in the Land of the Rising Sun in exchange for hearing of life in the real world. "
