Hugs for Empty Nesters

By Tammy L. Bicket and Dawn M. Brandon

The bestselling Hugs series reaches out to the baby boomer generation with this uplifting new gift book. This heartwarming book is chock full of inspirational messages, delightful stories, and personalized scriptures -- written to entertain those who are struggling through the period of life known as the "Empty Nest." This can be a lonely time, where your children seem far away, but when better to focus on God's presence and unwavering love? When the children are leaving home, realizing that a spiritual legacy is growing with them or just remembering that you are God's special child can make all the difference.

A hug is the "just right" sentiment to express appreciation, affection, and friendship to the loved ones in our lives. And when the children are leaving home, there is no better time to provide warmth, encouragement, and love to those who find themselves reaching out for companionship and that vital family connection.

With baby boomers making up more than a quarter of the American population, the need for this endearing gift is enormous. Whatever emotions one is facing in this stage of life, the truth is that everyone can use the boost that a heartfelt hug brings.
