A heartwarming, wry, and often surprising collection of
essays about the next rite of passage for Baby Boomers: what
happens when the kids leave home As the baby boom
generation ages -- the oldest are now turning sixty -- many
of them are learning to deal with a whole new way of life,
after the last child has finally moved out and they are,
once again, alone. It’s the same milestone their own parents
faced, but as with so many other markers, this generation
approaches it in a whole new way. In this
fascinating collection, journalist Karen Stabiner has
assembled essays from thirty-one writers about their own
experience with the empty nest. Parents whose children left
home last week join those with grandchildren to explore how
life changes once the offspring leave (unless, of course,
they move back in again later). They represent the full
range of experience -- from traditional nuclear families to
single parents to gay parents to grandparents -- with humor,
grace, and poignancy.
