How did I’ll Miss you Too begin?

The creation of I’ll Miss You Too, resulted from a decision that a mother and daughter made while dealing with their own emotional and communication challenges during the off-to-college transition. Together, the coauthors recalled their own personal experiences, assessing their differences and similarities through this family-life phase. Beginning with the senior year of high school and carrying its readers through the senior year of college and beyond, the book focuses on each step of the transition. It is drawn from personal journals, emails, visits and phone conversations over these important years. It’s a glimpse into what both generations saw, felt and learned during Steffany’s voyage to independence.

The newly released, I’ll Miss You Too is also enriched with the collective stories and wisdom of counselors, parents, and students across the country. Written in a down-to-earth style, Margo and Steffany’s book is created to help both students and parents understand each other and share a healthy and memorable transition.
