For years Judith Viorst has found humor in life's everyday truths and rites of passage. She continues her work in this book. While lightly exploring the subject of kids flying the coup,Viorst highlights the feelings of both the children and the empty nesters they are leaving behind. A great graduation gift for the graduate and their parents.
