The time when children leave home is a major transitional period for all mothers-but there are no widely accepted rites of passage to acknowledge this massive change, and very little recognition of the spectrum of emotions it triggers in so many of us. In The Empty Nest, Shelley Bovey fully explores the many dimensions of parental life once children leave their family homes.

Drawing on her own experiences as a mother, as well as those of a broad range of other women, Bovey examines the pain and isolation many women experience-and their guilt about those feelings-when their...

The story is set in Weirton, West Virginia, a small 1950s industrial town in the Northern panhandle of the state. Weirton is more akin to Ohio and Pennsylvania than the rural heart of West Virginia.

A message for the parent:
When I was expecting my twins, I wrote a poem for my eldest son, who was eight at the time. This book is adapted from that poem.
This is a story of love and reassurance for your first-born child when a new baby is on the way.
This book will help you show your child that they still mean the world to you, and that the addition of a new baby won't diminish the love you have for them, it will just make it stronger.
