Product Description
Share with your grandchild the exciting, emotional, amusing, embarrassing, and interesting moments of your life with the "story of you." --Andy and Susan Hilford

 

For the fifteen million grandmothers who are keepers of family history and memories, The Grandmother Book is a lively and timely way to record your story for future generations.

 

* Andy and Susan Hilford present the perfect way for grandmothers of all ages to pass along a grandmother's story.  The story is one that recounts coming-of-age moments, life-changing events, a look back at what was, family anecdotes and historical insight.  With thoughtful, surprising, at times unexpected, and provocative questions, this book is directed to the new generation of baby boomer grandmothers. From early memories of her childhood, to the time she began her own family, to the present as she watches her family continue to grow, this valuable, prompted keepsake ensures that the thoughts, moments, events, images, and ideas that shaped her life are collected in her voice and in her hand for a precious audience.

 

* This grandmother's book of memories includes spaces for special photographs, report cards, family tree, and other cherished memorabilia and keepsakes, along with thoughtful, amusing, memory-nudging prompts to kick-start grandmother's storytelling

 

* A perfect gift on Grandparent's Day, Mother's Day, wedding anniversaries, and birthdays, the book's hardcover binding and decorative four color art ensure its status as a written family treasure for generations to come.

About the Author
Andy Hilford is a psychologist and researcher who specializes in the study of memory. Susan Hilford is a physical therapist who has worked with adult and pediatric patients and is currently enjoying raising their children full-time.  The couple lives in New York, NY.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the divorced granma..., June 2, 2008
By Sarah Nissen (Lafayette, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is cute, but as soon as I received it and thumbed through it, I realized it was inappropriate for my mom, who hasn't been with "grandpa" for a long time. It has several pages for "first date with grandpa", "first kiss with grandpa", etc, which would have been awkward, since they're divorced...

5.0 out of 5 stars A future heirloom, May 4, 2008
This is a book that is at once funny, touching, sentimental and hopeful. The knowledge we have of our grandparents is often diluted when heard through our parents. What better way to encapsulate the lives of our parent's mothers than through this treasure of a book? I wish this book had been written earlier so that my grandmother's life could have been more fully remembered by myself, as well as by my children. This book will, once filled out, be more than a memoir - it will be a family heirloom.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "baby" gift for Grandma, April 26, 2008
I am of an age where many of my friends are becoming grandmothers. This book is the perfect gift to acknowledge their new status as a grandparent as well as giving them something they can eventually pass along to their grandchild. The book is well thought out and wonderfully written. Recording family history has never been so easy!
