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 \u003ci\u003e60 Minutes\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlong 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eBecoming Grandma\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lesley Stahl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0399185828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780399185823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blue Rider Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Lesley Stahl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990175252735,"sku":"9780399185823","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb2ad9df-5629-4706-87c9-46ab3b1069ef.jpg?v=1683303420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-grandma-lesley-stahl-9780399185823","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
