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 was a news flash!  And so, using her \u003ci\u003e60 Minutes\u003c\/i\u003e skills, she explores how grandmothering changes a woman’s life, interviewing her friends like Whoopi Goldberg, her colleagues like Diane Sawyer, and the proverbial woman next door.    \u003cbr\u003e    On top of these personal accounts, she interviews scientists and doctors about physiological changes 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.  \u003cbr\u003e    All through the book Stahl shares her stories about her own life now with two granddaughters, Jordan and Chloe, how her relationship with her daughter Taylor has changed, and how being a grandfather has affected her husband, Aaron.         \u003cbr\u003e    In an era when Baby Boomers are becoming grandparents in droves, when young parents need all the help they can get raising their children—and with a grandmother in the running to be our next US President—Stahl’s book is a timely and affecting read that redefines a cherished relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025095344368,"sku":"9780399168154","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780399168154_p0.jpg?v=1763698461","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780399168154","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
