Synopsis Praise Chapter by Chapter Reading Group Guide	Praise for Walking on Eggshells “With Isay’s sage advice, we can make life with our adult children calmer, closer and more enjoyable. This is a great read for every parent who has ever, in discussing their adult children, used the phrase, ‘walking on eggshells’.” —Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia “Jane Isay gives us a hope chest of hard-earned wisdom and a-ha moments, and a mirror in which we can safely examine ourselves and our families.” —Rachel Simmons, author of Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls “From her own loving heart and from richly revealing interviews with parents and adult children, Jane Isay has fashioned a wonderfully wise and constructive intergenerational guide. Read it and learn!” —Judith Viorst, author of I'm Too Young to Be Seventy: And Other Delusions “A gently told, achingly honest book, about the search for love and acceptance that aging parents and their adult children bring to each other and the tragic misunderstandings that get in their way and break their hearts. The author draws candidly on her own life experience as mother and grandmother, along with intimate portraits of many other families, to offer wise advice that should be comforting and helpful to both children and parents who wish for a second chance.” —Judith S. Wallerstein, Ph.D., author of What About the Kids?: Raising Your Children Before, During, and After Divorce “Jane Isay’s warm, intelligent, reassuring voice shines through her illuminating stories about the delicate, lifelong bond between parents and their grown children. Anyone who has ever been in a parent-child kafuffle about rules, traditions, money, control, or anything else will find wisdom and encouragement in this lovely book.” —Carol Tavris, Ph.D., coauthor of Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)
