Description
The Goodbye Year: A Novel by Kaira Rouda As the end of parenting approaches, one mother's carefully constructed life begins to unravel. With only one more year to live vicariously through her son, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about family, love and identity. As the children prepare for their own transitions - from high school to college, and from childhood to adulthood - they must navigate the unknowns of life beyond their parents' carefully planned expectations. This poignant novel explores the complexities of family relationships, peer pressure, and the challenges of growing up. Through the eyes of both parents and children, The Goodbye Year offers a nuanced portrayal of what it means to be young, in love, and on the cusp of adulthood.
