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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Stabiner\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist who writes about food, health, and family issues.
