edited by Barbara Graham. This collections of essays by well-known writers/grandmothers is not the sweet book about being a nana that I was looking for. It's like a punch in the gut, actually. It's an honest look at what being a grandmother is really like for these women. There's no sugar coating here. These women have stories about their relationships (or lack of) with their adult children, their feelings about not seeing junior enough or seeing him too much. I recommend it because life is real. Someone may find something similar to their situation and feel comforted.
