Walking on Eggshells
We raise our children to be independent and lead fulfilling lives, but when they finally do, staying close becomes more complicated than ever. And for every bewildered mother who wonders why her children don’t call, there is a frustrated son or daughter who just wants to be treated like a grownup. Renowned editor Jane Isay has discovered a new stage of parenting in her book, Walking on Eggshells.

Traveling all across the country, listening to people’s stories, she has uncovered some of the issues that bother both generations, along with abiding love that exists between them. She found that everybody wants this relationship to work. Telling stories of families that have succeeded in staying close and those who still struggle, Isay shows that small changes in behavior can have a tremendous impact, fostering warmth and ease, and bringing out the inherent love between the generations.
