Reviews Author Events	Reviews “Gently and generously, Jane Isay shares her intimate experiences as well as dozens gleaned from friends and associates, to show us how to create, preserve or restore the unique treasure that is family love.” —Mario Cuomo “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 “Only one of the country’s greatest editors could have produced a book so perfectly clean, smart, heartfelt, and useful. Of course, it helps that she’s also one of the country’s greatest moms.” —Roger Rosenblatt, author of Rules for Aging: A Wry and Witty Guide to Life “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 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 "The brilliance of Walking On Eggshells lies in Isay's uncanny ability to keep our love and good intentions in focus so that we all- parents and adult children- can untangle the unhealthy knots in our relationships before they cause harm." -Ira Byock, M.D., author of Dying Well and The Four Things That Matter Most "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 "I know families; I've worked with thousands for over two decades. But I have yet to find a book about keeping families together, like this one. Jane Isay gives us the honesty and guidance we need in almost poetic form. Jane is on a mission -- take her with you because the stakes, staying close with our adult children and their children, are so high. You will never, never find a better companion for this journey than Walking On Eggshells." —Ron Taffel, Ph.D., author of The Second Family and Nurturing Good Children Now
