FROM THE REVIEWERS

"Invaluable to grandparents who are dealing with their emotionally distressed grandchildren, their often disturbed and/or abusive adult children, and a hopelessly outdated and confusing legal system that so often works against the best interests of the child."

- Annette Winter, Senior Editor, Modern Maturity

"Extraordinary.It is a profoundly sensitive guide that provides a fine blend of education, understanding, and assistance. The book answers many of the questions grandparents have asked us in desperation and confusion."

- Giovanna Stark, Executive Director, Child Development Programs Advisory Committee

"This is a good, solid guidebook for any grandparent who is helping to support, raising, or contemplating raising a grandchild. Written in a professional yet caring style, the book presents a detailed summary of the issues affecting grandparents as well as a realistic look at the systems in place to help them."

- Senator David Pryor, U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging
