"I found "I'll Miss You Too" helpful, witty, and very down-to-earth about how parents and students can face this change with humor and courage... I am holding a Class of 2015 parent send-off and will be giving all of them a copy of this book. My seniors are certainly in the spotlight, but many of their parents need to celebrate their accomplishment of getting their student to graduation as well. I believe many of them will find the book helpful and (I hope) a source of reason...while making the transition to college." - Keo Oura Kounlavong-Sabath, Director of College Counseling, Harrisburg Academy, Pennsylvania
