Before You Fly Away - by Christina Geist (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

New York Times Bestselling Author Christina Geist's beautifully designed collection of simple life lessons is a sentimental sendoff gift for teens leaving home for boarding school and college, and for young adults starting life on their own.

For the kids out there spreading your wings, making your way in the world, and leaving a loving adult behind, this book is for you.

For the grownups out there waving from doorways, looking back on millions of little moments, and wondering if you taught them the big, important stuff along the way, this book is for you.

This is a collection of life lessons. Some big. Some small. Some were learned the hard way, others by observation, while several are still a work in progress. Lesson number one, after all, is to be nice to yourself.
