Love & Let Go: Reflections, Confessions, Encouragements, and a Few Cautionary Forewarnings from a Father to a Daughter - Paperback

by Peter O'Brien (Author)

What are the right words to use when someone we love leaves home for school, a new job, or for extended travel? How to compress so many memories, feelings, and emotions? When do words of advice, counsel, or wisdom work best? Love & Let Go sets out to achieve this impossible task--and succeeds! The author's daughter is about to leave home to continue her education. In thirty-five brief chapters, he offers reflections, encouragements, words of love and support, and more. This book is a totally honest, intimate, and wonderfully literary reflection of the author's own experiences and responses. It can be read privately, read aloud between parent and child, or shared with friends...or just to appreciate lifelong familial bonds.
