I accidentally got two copies of Rain Song by Alice Wisler, so you are the beneficiaries.
Here's the synopsis from amazon: In Wisler's likable debut, a young woman is offered a chance to find romance and make peace with her past. After her missionary mother dies under mysterious circumstances in Japan, young Nicole Michelin returns to North Carolina to live with her depressed father and loving grandmother. Now 31, and a middle school English teacher, Nicole bears the scars of a time she can't remember. She sleeps with her cloth kimono doll and nurses phobias ranging from anxiety about flying to a fear of commitment. But when she meets an intriguing man through a Web site column, her yearning for love encourages her to risk getting to know him even though he lives in Japan. Wisler's cast of Southern women is lightly sketched but no less charming for this, and her development of the relationship between Nicole and her three-year-old autistic cousin strikes poignant notes throughout. Faith fiction fans will appreciate the strong faith of Nicole's influential grandmother, Ducee Dubois, who helps Nicole face her fears. (Oct.) ""
I must admit I haven't read this one yet. Alice has a beautiful ministry to those who are struggling with the death of a child to encourage them to "write the heartache." I can't wait to get a chance to read this one!

I have been wanting to read Alice's fiction, it looks good. No, I have never lived in another country. I'm not sure where I would if I wanted to though...

Julia,
I would love a chance to win this book! I have never lived in another country, but I have visited Canada and Israel. I had amazing experiences in both countries! But I do LOVE living in the United States, and "I'm proud to be an American," as the song goes. :)
Thank you for a chance to win this book!

I love the relationship drama genre and Alice is on my list of authors to try. Thank you for the chance to win her book, Julia.
I've never lived in another country, but my daughter is a missionary in Germany and I visited her for two weeks last summer. While I loved the area she lives in, it really made me appreciate home!
