As I read this book I was struck by the beauty of the writing. The stories that the author shares about her journey are relevant to any transition in life, but were particularly relevant to the transition from mother of young kids to grown, and how we find a new role and place in the world. I found that I wanted to read this slowly, with a highlighter in hand to help me to absorb and remember the many messages that I was relating to and finding significant and relevant. this is a book that I will go back to again and again, as these lessons take time to practice and make a part of our lives. This book would make very good discussion material for book groups, particularly among women whose children are leaving the 'nest'. These are topics that all mothers can relate to, and the author provides much food for thought and meaningful discussion.
