"It's the personal stories that make [ Becoming Grandma ] so accessible... In the most illuminating parts of her book, Stahl writes candidly about her own experiences as a mother, wife, reporter and now, grandmother." -- The Richmond Times-Dispatch "[An] energetic, informative, and often touching book....Stahl includes stories of generational conflict [and] plentiful glimpses of her family's joys and those of many others...No matter where readers fall in age or experience, this book should top their 2016 reading list of parenting titles." -- Publishers Weekly , STARRED REVIEW "An ode to mimis, bubbes and nanas everywhere . . . Lesley Stahl reports from the fascinating front lines of modern grandparenting." --Pamela Druckerman, author of Bringing Up Bébé "Lesley Stahl brings the keen reporting we know from "60 Minutes" to the story of grandparenting. Amazed and delighted at the joy she experienced with the arrival of own two granddaughters, Stahl set about finding out why that was true. Her wise answers, both scientific and practical, provide useful information not only for grandparents and the children they cherish, but also for the wider society. This is a wonderfully fun read about an important subject." --Cokie Roberts, author of We Are Our Mothers' Daughters "Lesley Stahl, one of America's most well-respected journalists, uses her reporter's instinct and grandmother's heart to take a bold look at life's most joyful relationship in Becoming Grandma .

Synopsis
From one of the country's most recognizable journalists: How becoming a grandmother transforms a woman's life. After four decades as a reporter, Lesley Stahl's most vivid and transformative experience of her life was not covering the White House, interviewing heads of state, or researching stories at 60 Minutes . 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 were a news flash. And so, using her 60 Minutes skills, she explored how grandmothering changes a woman's life, interviewing friends like Whoopi Goldberg, colleagues like Diane Sawyer (and grandfathers, including Tom Brokaw), as well as the proverbial woman next door. Along with these personal accounts, Stahl speaks with scientists and doctors about physiological changes that occur 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. Throughout Becoming Grandma , Stahl shares stories about her own life with granddaughters Jordan and Chloe, about how her relationship with her daughter, Taylor, has changed, and about how being a grandfather has affected her husband, Aaron. In an era when baby boomers are becoming grandparents in droves and when young parents need all the help they can get raising their children, Stahl's book is a timely and affecting read that redefines a cherished relationship., The New York Times Bestseller From one of the country's most recognizable journalists: How becoming a grandmother transforms a woman's life.

- 1***a (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis item shipped quickly and I received it in a timely manner. It was packaged well to keep it safe and prevent breaking. This mug was as described with no imperfections. It is significantly more than it would have cost had I found it in Home Goods myself. However, since I couldn't find it at my local home goods for my mom, I was willing to pay the price.
