Adolescence is widely viewed as the most difficult stage of parenting. Yet despite its importance, we have a limited grasp of what it actually takes to help teens through adolescence. In Letting Go, Demie Kurz offers a deeper understanding of the demanding work of parenting teens and sheds new light on what it takes to produce a successful child. Based on numerous interviews with a diverse group of mothers, Kurz details the negotiations with teens and young adults as well over control, trust, and letting go to offer a portrayal of the real dilemmas contemporary parents face day-to-day.

The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read is about coming to terms with the many endings that moms of teenagers experience―but more than that, it's about all the new beginnings on the horizon, and how moms can still hold their families close while letting them go. With compassion for the big feelings that accompany big transitions, Francis helps listeners harness some of the mothering energy they've been directing toward their children and redirect it back toward nurturing themselves.
