"As we read this book we both thought "How great it would have been if we had had it to read as we were preparing to send our oldest (twins) out of the nest and into college, then the military."

It is written from the heart of a Christian wife and mother. It is both from a human and spiritual insight. You can feel her joy, pride and pain as she sends her son into the military.

Through her experiences you can learn the most valuable lessons for preparing and during the empty-nest. Although it is written in respect to the military, anyone anticipating the empty-nest transition should definitely read and learn from this book."

We highly recommend it to all readers.


Shelia Keckler Butt, Author, Speaker
"A must read for every mother whose child has decided to enlist in a branch of our armed service! Becky has written an insightful, witty and heart-warming account of her own journey as her son, Adam, made his choices and is fulfilling his duty. This book gives biblical strength and encouragement and many very practical suggestions. It would be great to give as a gift to any military parent."
