What People Think

"Wise, honest, and deeply moving, Connie Jones's exploration of her daughter's move from home to college is for all of us who have to loosen the closest tie of all--the tie between loving parent and beloved child."
--Molly Wolf, author of Angels and Dragons: Of Sorrow, God, and Healing

"Cary's story told through the mind and heart of her mother, Connie Jones, will make you laugh and cry. It is both real and nurturing, a must read for parents."
--David Buckingham, Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students, Virginia Wesleyan College

"I have had the pleasure of reading Connie Jones's book about the process of sending her daughter off to college. I think she has written an incisive and moving description of an under-appreciated, major transition in the life of a family, one that is as painful as it is important. I hope many parents will read it. I am sure they will profit from it."
-- John Connolly, acting president of Smith College
