The authors explain their motivation for editing this book and how their backgrounds influenced the direction the project took. They also give a brief overview of the themes, research methods, and the contributing authors. The book aims to answer the following questions:

- How can a single father fit into the predominantly mother-dominated culture of schools?
- How do children fare in Japanese schools overseas?
- What issues exist for parents whose children have challenges?
- How can third-culture children navigate family culture, religion, and different school cultures?
- How can intercultural parents cope with the demands of homework when they are not fluent users of Japanese?
- How can intercultural parents cope with minority culture and language?
- What can intercultural parents do when schooling in Japan is not the best fit for their children?
