Barbara & Susan's Guide to the Empty Nest
by Barbara Rainey & Susan Yates

You’re done . . . but you’re not finished! And one more thing. You’re not alone.  Feeling unsure? Scared? Expectant? Maybe even giddy? Is your nest empty—except for a bundle of mixed emotions? As you grieve what’s behind and daydream about possibilities, you’ll feel young again, ready for new challenges and adventures. Yet you may not know what to pursue or how to discover what’s next.  Many women in this season of life wonder: Who am I now? And what should I do? How will my marriage be affected? Does anyone need me? How do I relate to my children? Is it okay to feel sad? Or thrilled? What’s next?

Barbara and Susan can be the friends you need to walk you through these new experiences. They’ll guide you to answers, and together you’ll discover a new purpose and passion for your next life adventure.

Read what others are saying about Barbara & Susan’s Guide to the Empty Nest:

“Oh how I needed Barbara Rainey and Susan Yates honest and helpful wisdom the day I left my youngest at her college dorm room.  Driving home that day I cried so hard that I had to pull the car over to the side of the road and wait for the blur of tears to subside.  Barbara and Susan give empty nesters a reason to smile through the tears.  They have written a manual that emphasizes beauty in the rhythm of family life while honestly tackling fearful change.  They are truthful and vulnerable about what really happens when mothers move from mothering to making a new life in an empty nest.  You’re going to love this book as much as I did."

~ Bobbie Wolgemuth is the best selling author of The Most Important Year in a Woman’s Life and Gold Medallion winner of Hymns for a Kid’s Heart with Joni Eareckson Tada.

“Ladies, read this wonderful book with a hankie in hand!  Barbara and Susan give every woman comfort as they watch their no-longer-little ones fly free, and the tools to make the transition well.  Whether our chicks have just arrived in the nest or have already flown, this is a message that will prepare and encourage every one of us.”

~ Shaunti Feldhahn, bestselling author of For Women Only and For Parents Only
