Why read it?

1 author picked Welcome to the Departure Lounge as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Again, I'm reading a few books lately that have to do with experiences in elderly parents, the role and responsibility of adult sons and daughters, and how to navigate the tricky and ever-changing tides of emotions. This book is funny, sad, a little frightening.
