Read book reviewsWith my fourth child enrolled in a university a thousand miles away, I devoured Barbara and Susan’s Guide to the Empty Nest! I especially appreciated the emphasis on taking time to reflect on my life story and then gearing up to embrace my future with both purpose and passion. We baby boomers always wanted to change the world; the good news is that we still can—as older, wiser, focused women of God. Packed with insights and practical tools for moms about to send their teens into the real world. Whether our chicks are still in the nest or have already flown, Barbara and Susan’s message will prepare and encourage every one of us. Several of my friends are rapidly approaching this time in their life, and they are fighting over this book! Barbara and Susan give an honest look at the challenging transition that comes after years of child rearing. They show that after a time of loss and loneliness, we can reinvent ourselves—creating a second season of life full of adventure and purpose. Bravo! |
