For more than a decade, Letting Go has provided hundreds of thousands of parents with valuable insights, information, comfort, and guidance throughout the emotional and social changes of their children's college years--from the senior year in high school through college graduation.

In this era of constant communication, this edition tackles the challenge facing parents: finding the balance between staying connected and letting go.
