Becoming a grandmother is both exciting and challenging. In Celebrating Grandmothers, 27 women describe – in their own words – how they responded to the many pleasures and demands of this role. They also explore how it changed both their view of themselves and the texture of their lives. How did you feel holding your first grandchild? Does your time with the grandchildren fly by? Is there a new depth – or new complexity – in your family relationships? These stories will speak to you and this book is frequently recommended as an original present for a new grandmother.
