You may be one of the millions of these grandparents and it's a role you never expected. Willing as you are to assume this role, you have some questions. How will I find the energy for this? Is my grandchild normal? What if I "blow it?" Each day, you look for ways to make life easier.
This book will:
•Help ease your worries and guilt;
•Offer tips for creating a grandfamily;
