Becoming Grandma
Author: Lesley Stahl
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0399185828
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The New York Times Bestseller From one of the country’s most recognizable journalists, Lesley Stahl of CBS's 60 Minutes: How becoming a grandmother transforms a woman’s life. After four decades as a reporter, Lesley Stahl’s most vivid and transformative experience of her life was not covering the White House, interviewing heads of state, or researching stories at 60 Minutes. It was becoming a grandmother. She was hit with a jolt of joy so intense and unexpected, she wanted to “investigate” it—as though it were a news flash. And so, using her 60 Minutes skills, she explored how grandmothering changes a woman’s life, interviewing friends like Whoopi Goldberg, colleagues like Diane Sawyer (and grandfathers, including Tom Brokaw), as well as the proverbial woman next door. Along with these personal accounts, Stahl speaks with scientists and doctors about physiological changes that occur in women when they have grandchildren; anthropologists about why there are grandmothers, in evolutionary terms; and psychiatrists about the therapeutic effects of grandchildren on both grandmothers and grandfathers. Throughout Becoming Grandma, Stahl shares stories about her own life with granddaughters Jordan and Chloe, about how her relationship with her daughter, Taylor, has changed, and about how being a grandfather has affected her husband, Aaron. In an era when baby boomers are becoming grandparents in droves and when young parents need all the help they can get raising their children, Stahl’s book is a timely and affecting read that redefines a cherished relationship.

Book Description
In 1927, Charley Braggs arrived home to find two of his children dead. The doctor who observed the children in their last moments diagnosed food poisoning as the cause. There was no need for an autopsy. His wife, Nannie, blamed tainted grains as the source but Charley wasn't convinced. Charley didn't feel safe around his wife. In the middle of the night, he took his eldest daughter and ran for his life. The outpouring of sympathy doubled for Nannie when they discovered her husband's treachery. To her community, she was a sweet lady renowned for her cheerful disposition. But behind the facade was a much darker and sinister reality. A truth that four of her future husbands, two of her sisters, her mother, her mother-in-law, her nephew and her grandson would perilously discover. Black Widow is a dramatic and chilling account of one of the most shocking true crime stories in American history. Ryan Green's riveting narrative draws the reader into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller. CAUTION: This book contains descriptive accounts of abuse and violence. If you are especially sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to read any further

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Smart, warm, telling, and funny, Funny, Your Don't Look Like a Grandmother is the perfect bouquet for today's grandmother, that active and interesting woman who is old enough to be somebody's grandmother and young enough to run around the world. Lois Wyse's new book, charmingly illustrated by Lilla Rogers, is a collection of wit and wisdom for today's Nana, Grandma, Goo-Goo, or Gran. How can you recognize today's grandmother? Easy, says Wyse. The grandmother is the one who goes out more and complains less than her daughter. In the spirit of Erma Bombeck and Bill Cosby, Lois Wyse tells loving and amusing stories that illustrate the joys of contemporary grandmothering. According to Lois Wyse, "A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do." Contemporary grandmothers and their children and grandchildren will see themselves in these reflections of family life that include everything from how it feels to become a grandmother to gentle advice on parenting and career grandmothers. Funny, You Don't Look Like a Grandmother is the first nontraditional book about grandmothers who may not look like grandmothers -- but who love as deeply as the generations of grannies who preceded them.

Book Description
How do you respond to the deteriorating health of a loved one? How do you move forward towards their impending death? Honest, deeply personal and thought-provoking, Who Stole Grandma? is written not as a handbook on End of Life, but as a life affirming call on each of us to relish the time that remains. At the start of 2007, Mark Lanyon's sister declared that she could no longer care for their ailing mother, Moosh. So began the most challenging and the most enriching period in Mark's life, as he strove to support a mother who was losing her strength, her independence and her treasured role as hands-on grandmother. Interwoven with the pain, there was time for Mark and Moosh to forge an even stronger relationship and to find the funny in the face of adversity. Mark shares key moments in Moosh's final years; the trials, tribulations and mini-triumphs; the expected heartbreak and unanticipated hilarity; and, most importantly, the love. If you have ever worried about losing a loved one, this heart-warming book is for you. "I have laughed out loud and cried in equal measure." Hillary "Utterly lovely." Jane "This book tore at my heart strings." Bev "Stunning craftsmanship with words -- captivated every part of me." Sarah "A great journey: so much love, sadness, laughter, and caring."
