The Empty Nest: 31 Parents Tell the Truth About Relationships, Love, and Freedom After the Kids Fly the Coop, Voice, 2007.
The book: In this book, Karen Stabiner has assembled essays by a wide variety of writers who have had to face an empty nest. Parents whose children left home last week join those with grandchildren to explore the ways that life changes once the offspring leave-unless, of course, they move back in again. These 31 authors represent the full range of experience, from traditional nuclear families to single parents to gay parents, and they tell their stories with humor, grace and poignancy.
The author: Karen Stabiner is the author of seven other books and is a regular contributor to the Los Angeles Times opinion section as well as other major publications. She lives in Santa Monica, California, with her husband and her daughter, Sarah, who left home for college this fall.
