A Guide for Grandfamilies, Single Parents, and Chosen Kin
Loretta got the call at 11:47 on a Thursday night.
Her daughter was very sick. The grandchildren needed someone now. She was sixty-one. She was in her car within four minutes.
2.7 million grandparents in the United States are raising grandchildren as primary caregivers. Millions more do the work without the title — the aunt who took the kids, the neighbor who became a parent. If you got that call, you already know.
You are doing the hardest work there is — without a framework, a network, or a single person who understands what your Tuesday looks like.
This book is for you: a working blueprint for building the village, so you are not doing this alone.
“Someone finally described what I have been doing my whole adult life — and called it important.”— a seventy-three-year-old reader
Every chapter ends with one action. You are not alone in this. This book is proof.
