“While contributions from established writers....act as lures, the real treasure here are offered by relatively unkown authors. A diverse and moving tribute.” —Publishers Weekly
“The portrait of a grandmotherhood that comes into focus here is three-demensional and full-blooded, and the deversity of setiment and opinion as to what a grandmother means is the very quality that makes this collection such an enthralling, authentic read.” —Voice of Youth Advocates
