“This book is exactly what parents should share with the children to help with separation anxiety.”
—Leon Coe, City Commissioner
Gone Again is designed to help children of first responders and military families deal with the departure of a parent who works long hours or is deployed. The book promotes resilience and recognition of support systems, and helps children maintain their normal routine while a parent is fulfilling a duty to defend, protect or serve.
