Book Description
Becoming the grandmother of twins changed Harriet Hodgson and altered her life course. According to Hodgson, we live in a fast-paced, complex time, a time when too many grandchildren are victims of bullying, Internet scams, and sexual abuse. Hodgson believes that grandmothers are needed today more than any other time in history. "Grandmas can't be passive," she declares. "Every grandma has the power to protect and guide her grandchildren and needs to tap this power." This narrative weaves Hodgson's personal story with research findings. It's packed with ideas for helping grandchildren. Hodgson's age, child development degree, life experience, teaching experience, witness to history, and extensive research converge to make this an inspiring read. Working individually and together, grandmas are changing the world. "The Grandma Force is about the power of love and the power of one." Hodgson says. "One-by-one, grandmas are standing up for grandchildren and creating a hopeful future for them."

Book Description
Suitcases of money . . . boxes of cocaine . . . undercover agents . . . wiretaps . . . government leaks . . . crooked agents . . . and grandmas? For most of their lives the four middle-aged women had never violated the law. But cocaine and its false promise of excitement and riches drew them in, one by one, into a multi-million-dollar money laundering and cocaine trafficking scheme. Cocaine also ensnared a nationally known jeans designer and sent him plummeting on a path toward personal destruction. Perhaps most disturbing of all, cocaine's profits lured agents from two different federal agencies--men sworn to investigate and bring cocaine traffickers to justice--to violate their oaths and engage in significant criminal acts. This is the true but incredible story of the Grandma Mafia.

Book Description
According to the author, "Grandmother skills" are disappearing because in our highly mobile society, women may now remain in the workforce or live far from their grandchildren. Elgin (The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense), herself a grandmother to 10, attempts to fill this gap by providing grandmothers of all types and ages with this chatty and good-natured guide to successful grandmothering. Included among Elgin's 21 sensible principles are advice for mediating family disputes, tips for helping grandchildren with money problems while maintaining one's own financial solvency, as well as the importance of passing down family myths and stories to the next generation. Elgin also discusses family crises or illnesses when it may become necessary for a grandmother to take over the running of the household of one of her children (whom she coyly refers to as a "chadult"). Elgin firmly believes that once the emergency is over, a grandmother must return the household to the parents as soon as possible and gracefully return home. Elgin includes lots of nitty gritty advice but most of her book is aimed at reminding readers how to give families the advantage of their experience without giving in to the frailties of age. “ 35 b/w illustrations

Book Description
Revolving around the life of a distressed woman, namely ‘Ram Asari’ and her adopted son ‘Munna’,it is a saga which tells about her unprecedented motherly love and affection towards him, even at the cost of her own life. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that like the protagonist, Pelagea Nilovana of the famous novel ‘The Mother’ of the great Russian Writer Maxim Gorki, Ram Asari, despite being uneducated woman also emerged as a lustrous idol of a woman of strong will and feelings. The only difference in between them is that where Nilovana is a face of radicalization, Ram Asari is a symbol of affection and selflessness. With a hope, kindled in her mind, she did hard labour to raise her Munna as a personage and in this pursuit she ultimately loses the race of her own life. This is such an affectionate story that there could hardly be any reader who won’t shed tears from the core of his/her heart by reading this book. It is a very fascinating novel full of attractions, horripilation and curiosity and thus has great appeal to keep the readers engrossed in it till the finishing of the last line.
