As my daughter heads off for freshman year, I feel a bit more prepared for all that's to come having read this. This is not a quick or a light read, especially by 2016 standards. Prepare to settle in for a meaty, thought provoking journey.
What a great comfort to have had this book to read on my flight home from dropping of my oldest son to college last year on an opposite coast! I felt quite alone with my feelings regarding this "life transition" from a parent who was in the other room, to a parent who is now on the other side of the country. "Letting Go" was a great guidebook, and assured me that many of my feelings were quite normal. My son is just starting his sophomore year in a few days, and this time I let me husband do the "drop off". Even though I said my goodbye from the front door this time as opposed to pulling away in the rental car from his campus, I still feel that same emptiness, and will refer once again, to this book for comfort and understanding.
