Gorgeous mom Sarah has just begun to realize that her only daughter, Ashley, has been serving as a stand-in for her traveling husband, and the thought of her daughter leaving for college is cracking the carefully cultivated façade of her life. Will and his wife are fine--as long as he follows the instructions on the family calendar and is sure to keep secret his whole other life with Lauren, the woman he turns to for fun (and who also happens to have a daughter in the senior class). Told from the points of view of both the parents and the kids, \u003ci\u003eThe Goodbye Year\u003c\/i\u003e explores high school peer pressure, what it's like for young people to face the unknown of life after high school, and how a transition that should be the beginning of a couple's second act together--empty nesting--might possibly be the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaira Rouda is a \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling, award-winning author of contemporary women's fiction and modern romance novels that sparkle with humor and heart.
