Barbara Rainey and Susan Yates. Little Rock, Ark.: Family Life Publishing, 2008. 244 pp. (Hardback).

Needless to say, facing the empty nest challenge is quite difficult for some women. For them and others, this book can be a lifesaver.

“We were made for motherhood but somewhere along the way we became very settled in our role,” Rainey said.

It is quite interesting to learn that Rainey and Yates have raised six and five children, respectively.

To be sure, the onset of the empty nest life can be a time of celebration and fulfillment. Because of the relevance and practicality of this book, this reviewer gives it an A-plus.
