Empty-Nest Joyride: Hope, Love, and Purpose on the Road to Contentment
$15.99
You’ve been parenting for years, and now face the sudden realization that this ride, and your role, are about to change. Like exiting a busy highway, you might look forward to a slower, gentler, and more relaxing pace. Or, perhaps the quiet path ahead fills you with uncertainty and the dread of emptiness.
You’re about to embark on an unfamiliar journey. What lies around the bend is a mystery.
Linda Hanstra has been around that bend. In Empty-Nest Joyride, she shares a heartfelt collection of personal stories inspired by bike rides through the Midwest countryside. Using cycling adventures as metaphors, she reflects on the challenges and blessings of this midlife stage with humor, warmth, and wisdom.

He leaves his mark on all creation, if only we look for him. These readings bring us to the cross, where our Savior offers free and abundant grace!
