For parents the grown-up child's leave-taking from the family nest is a time for reexamining their own lives. . . .

They look back . . . to their mothers and fathers as they seemed then--so strong, so marvelous--to the schoolyard games, to the springtime of youth when the energies of growth propelled them into the future and everything still seemed possible.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
