Publisher's Description
Advice from the heart of a rather hip and savvy Baby Boomer grandmother offers insight for grandmothering in the twenty-first century. The rules for grandmothers have changed. The new silver generation is savvy and sophisticated-managing businesses, working out with a personal trainer, and traveling to exotic locations. But what about their care and nurturing of the next generation? How can they stay connected and leave a legacy, cheerleading and hand-holding those who come behind? This handbook provides encouragement for grandmothers with the real issues they face today. Seven sections of essays challenge grandmothers to become healers, peacemakers, repairers of the breach in families, and to celebrate life transitions and aging. Topics, both humorous and serious, range from the importance of choosing a name, waiting at the hospital, and getting wrinkles to blended families, step-grandparenting, in-laws, boundaries, and dying. Generation G will inspire grandmothers to realize their calling is great and their gift, of themselves, essential.

“Grandmothers, gray or not, will delight in this great book filled with warm stories, fresh insight, and new reasons to go hug their own darlings! Marty has captured the joy and wonder that only grandmothers know. Enjoy! Be blessed!”
“As a baby-boomer grandma, I found myself slapping high-fives and jumping into the air (not too high!) to click my heels as I read Marty Norman’s exciting new book, Generation G. What a long-awaited and much-needed breath of fresh air! I’m a grandmother of nine who doesn’t apologize for (or lie about) my age, who dotes on my exceptionally brilliant and adorable grand-children, and yet still enjoys riding on the back of my husband’s Harley. Marty gives us permission to grow old with class and finesse, to enjoy (and maybe even spoil) our grandkids, and to impart a little experience and wisdom along the way. In a warm, fireside-chat manner, she speaks to us baby-boomer grandparents right where we’re at—and we relate and appreciate that she helps us maneuver through yet another changing season of life.”
“Stop the presses! Trust me . . . this is also a great book for grandfathers who are gray, bald, and not nearly as savvy as our counterparts!”
