This book is helpful to parents who have young adult children. I think it would be most helpful to those going through the transition of children leaving. The authors have some very practical tips to help parents whose kids have left and come back again (boomerang kids), those whose kids just won't leave, and those whose kids find themselves in dire straits (such as a divorce or death of a spouse) and need to come home for a limited amount of time. They also have a section on encouraging your children who have moved out and are doing well and how parenting looks different now than it did when they were home. It also has a great section on grand-parenting and on leaving a legacy for your kids and grand-kids. Overall I think it's a helpful book.
