And Then There Were Grandchildren

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“What a joy to read Shirley Wright’s newest book of poems about her experience of grandparenting. She weaves together the past and the present—the family characters of days gone by, the memories of homely tasks done with love by maternal and paternal grandparents, the inclusion of stepparents and relatives of stepparents who all become fond family. If you didn’t before, you’ll understand and feel the transcendent love of grandparents for their grandchildren.”
