Easy to Read in an Afternoon with an Impact that Lasts for Years

As a busy mom of 10, I was used to a full life and a full house! Transitioning to a mostly empty nest in another city proved challenging!

This book has the potential of transforming your “empty nest” years into some of the best yours of your life!

A great resource and encouragement

This was a very easy read but chock full of wisdom & insight.  It encourages me as an empty-nester but also as a Christian businesswoman.  Five stars- highly recommend!

The real deal!

This book is a “must read” to help those entering and going through an empty nest life. It is not just another book. It is an instruction manual written by someone who has been there, done that. Great book!

– Frances

How did she get inside my head?

I encourage anyone who is approaching mid-life – or already struggling through it – to consider this story as a call to arms. If you’re living, breathing, and able to read this book, God certainly ain’t done with you yet!

Empty Nest Awakening, accompanied by The Word, are the perfect companions to explore and enjoy that journey… Blessings to you as you move forward!

Ruthie shares her personal experience of empty nesting, caregiving, and all the emotions that come along the journey. So many relatable parts and encouragement. A must-read for anyone preparing for the kids to leave home.

–Jacklin

Just what I needed!

As a new empty nester, I appreciate the vulnerability and honesty the author exudes in this book. I especially love her reminder, “Sometimes the next step in God’s plan requires performing uncomfortable tasks.” I am grateful for the way this book helped me connect my reality with my belief. Highly recommend this insightful book!
