Penguin Putnam Inc Failure to Launch
Book SynopsisFrom an expert in adolescent psychology comes a groundbreaking, timely, and necessary guide for parents of the 2.2 million young adults in America who are struggling to find their way in the world.In Dr. Mark McConville''s decades of experience as a family clinical psychologist, perhaps no problem has been more fraught than that of young adults who fail to successfully transition from adolescence into adulthood. These kids--technically adults--just can''t get it together: They can''t hold a job, they struggle to develop meaningful relationships, and they often end up back in their parents'' spare bedroom or on the couch. In fact, studies show that one in four Americans aged twenty-five to thirty-four neither work nor attend school, and it''s a problem that spans all socioeconomic and geographic boundaries.McConville investigates the root causes of this problem: Why are modern kids failing to launch in ever-increasing numbers? The key, McConville has found, is that they are struggling with three critical skills that are necessary to make the transition from childhood to adulthood--finding a sense of purpose, developing administrative responsibility, and cultivating interdependence. In Failure to Launch, McConville breaks these down into achievable, accessible goals and offers a practical guide for the whole family, to help parents instill those skills in their young adults--and to get their kids into the real world, ready to start their lives.

PublicAffairs,U.S. How to Live Forever: The Enduring Power of
Book SynopsisThe secret to happiness, longevity, and living on is through mentoring the next generation.In How to Live Forever, Encore.org founder and CEO Marc Freedman tells the story of his thirty-year quest to answer some of contemporary life's most urgent questions: With so many living so much longer, what is the meaning of the increasing years beyond 50? How can a society with more older people than younger ones thrive? How do we find happiness when we know life is long and time is short? In a poignant book that defies categorisation, Freedman finds insights by exploring purpose and generativity, digging into the drive for longevity and the perils of age segregation, and talking to social innovators across the globe bringing the generations together for mutual benefit. He finds wisdom in stories from young and old, featuring ordinary people and icons like jazz great Clark Terry and basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But the answers also come from stories of Freedman's own mentors-a sawmill worker turned surrogate grandparent, a university administrator who served as Einstein's driver, a cabinet secretary who won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the gym teacher who was Freedman's father.How to Live Forever is a deeply personal call to find fulfillment and happiness in our longer lives by connecting with the next generation and forging a legacy of love that lives beyond us.

Little, Brown Book Group How Mothers Love And how relationships are born
Book SynopsisMothers describe falling in love with their babies and then, more slowly, learning to understand them. Children flourish when their mothers love and understand them.For over 20 years, Naomi Stadlen has listened to hundreds of mothers talking at her weekly discussion groups. In ''How Mothers Love'' she offers unique insights into how mothers and babies learn to communicate intimately with one another.When adults relate to one another, they are building on the foundations usually laid down by their mothers. ''How Mothers Love'' is a study of how mothers start to build those foundations and covers areas such as: how to create emotional ''space'' for your unborn child; how to maintain a close relationship with two or more children; the transformation into motherhood and your role as a mother in wider society.By sharing the experiences of other mothers, Naomi Stadlen offers reassurance and support to all new parents as they navigate the highs and lows of the early years with Trade ReviewEvery aspect of the mother-child relationship is explored in a thought-provoking, unjudgemental and ultimately reassuring way... * Junior *It would be hard to find a gentler, less judgemental book on mothering... * The Guardian *Easy to read and informative and will undoubtedly help many mothers... * Therapy Today *Insightful, reassuring and moving... * Pregnancy and Birth *This book...should be required reading...for any new mothers, to give perspective and postiive encouragement... * www.doublehelpingdoulas.co.uk *Both What Mothers Do and Stadler's latest book, How Mothers Love ought to be required reading for everyone, not just parents... * www.freeyourparenting.com *This book...takes the time to do justice to mothers.

John Murray Press Where You End and I Begin: A Memoir
Book SynopsisWhen eight-year-old Leah's parents get divorced, her mother, Cessie, flees her conventional life as a suburban housewife in search of a glamorous big city career in journalism. In the chaotic years that follow Cessie lurches from one apartment, job and toxic romance to the next, with her adoring daughter in tow. Cessie describes her parenting style as 'benign neglect' and their family motto 'Commitment sucks the life right out of you' is tacked up on every rental fridge. In the aftermath of a disturbing sexual experience at a pool party, Leah finds herself crippled with anxiety. When she confides in her mother, Cessie makes an astonishing disclosure in turn, one that alters everything: from the age of twelve to fifteen she was in a clandestine relationship with her middle-aged, married riding instructor. The damage inflicted by the 'Horseman', Cessie explains, is the reason for all her regrettable life choices - marriage, divorce and even motherhood itself. Both women spend the ensuing decades haunted by the spectre of the Horseman, until they decide to investigate what became of him - an ill-conceived quest that will test the bonds of love and redefine their relationship forever.Written with unflinching candour and wit, Where You End and I Begin explores the dark reverberations of victim narratives and the power of filial love.Trade ReviewA work of probing insight and undaunted compassion; one that's fearlessly engrossing, frequently funny and sometimes plain hair-raising -- Hephzibah Anderson * Observer *It's hard not to find yourself rooting for both parties in this untamed, yearning story of imperfect mother-daughter love * The Guardian *Raw and beautiful-I was riveted all the way through. -- ANNIE MACMANUS, author of Mother MotherIf Edward St. Aubyn were to write an episode of Euphoria, it might come close to Leah McLaren's astonishing memoir. Ecstatically wild and weirdly fun, this book has me praying that it is the first installment of a series--and that I'll be seeing more of this latchkey kid and her mother, both of whom are brilliantly flawed, and make cardboard cutouts out of the rest of us. McLaren has written a poignant and brave modern gothic. I am blown away, madly in love. -- LAUREN MECHLING, author of How Could SheWhere You End and I Begin is a burningly true and gorgeously written memoir of a complex mother and daughter relationship. At its heart, this is a freshly told story by a great writer about an under-parented generation, where children were free to realize themselves, but also perhaps to become lost in the process. You're in good hands with Leah as she guides you through the pain and joy of her unfettered childhood. -- CATHRIN BRADBURY, author of The Bright SideMordant, clear-eyed, loving, devastating. Richly evocative, propulsive, and so well written-her prose sparkles like sunshine over deep water. -- AIDA EDEMARIAM, author of The Wife’s Tale

Boutique of Quality Books A Cup of Tea on the Commode: My Multi-Tasking
Book SynopsisMy mother's first attempt at dying occurred nine days after her eighty-ninth birthday. I lived a carefree bachelor life, no children, few responsibilities outside of work, but that all changed when the call came. When she decided to come back to life, I decided to move from the dry heat of Los Angeles back to the high humidity of New Jersey to take over. My first task was to remove all hazards: her current caretakers. After, I asked my mom, "Do you trust me?" She whispered, "Yes." "Do you understand I will do everything in my power to keep you healthy and safe?" She nodded. "That means I'm in charge. And that means you must obey me." Her mood shifted in an instant. She looked me dead in the eye and puckered up her lips. I wasn't sure if this was a sign of surrender or one wishing me luck. I kissed her and hoped for the best.The parent/child role reversal was not unique to me, but how I dealt with it was. A Cup of Tea on the Commode chronicles my multi-taking adventures of filling Mom's last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, I came pretty damn close.Table of ContentsTable of ContentsGenevieve’ s Vision 6Part One: Crisis 8Chapter 1: The Call 9Chapter 2: Way Back When (1922 onward) 14Chapter 3: A Silent Scream 18Chapter 4: Mum’ s the Word (1970s-1992) 22Chapter 5: Be Patient 29Chapter 6: The Surviving Catholic (1963 onward) 32Chapter 7: Planting the Seed 37Chapter 8: Salt, Pepper, and a Drop of Whiskey (1962) 41Chapter 9: The Miracle Poop 44Chapter 10: The Recyclers (1960s) 47Chapter 11: The Best Medicine 49Chapter 12: Never Doubt a Mother’ s Intuition (1963) 51Part Two: Change 53Chapter 13: A Whole New Ballgame 54Chapter 14: “ I’ m from Missour-uh” (My entire life) 60Chapter 15: The UPC Label Mystery (1993) 61Chapter 16: It Might Be Time to Get Mom Some Help (2006 and beyond) 64Chapter 17: Odd Jobs and Early Investments (1960s) 66Chapter 18: The Experiment Begins (2006) 69Chapter 19: Then Came the Squatters 72Chapter 20: Is that your Picasso in the outfield?

Heritage House Publishing Co Ltd Grandfathered: Dispatches from a Reluctant Senior
Book SynopsisOne summer, shortly after taking a step back from an illustrious journal-ism career, Ian Haysom found himself in charge of his first grandchild, Mayana, who was three at the time. As a healthy, energetic member of the baby-boom generation, Haysom did not consider himself a typical granddad. He was too young, too active, too cool for a role more often associated with denture adhesive commercials and afternoon naps. But as he soon discovered, grandparenthood is more rewarding, entertaining, and exhausting than he ever could have imagined. Grandfathered chronicles Haysoms adventures with his grandkids Mayana, Emma, and Linden; explores the delightful and unexpected lessons they have taught him (and those he has attempted to teach them); and investigates the rapidly changing role of the grandparent in the twenty-first century. Through keen observations, hilarious anecdotes, and fascinating insights reminiscent of Bill Bryson (or Bill Bryson with a touch of arthritis, as Haysom quips), this charming memoir will resonate with boomer grandparents everywhere.

Goose Lane Editions Powered by Love: A Grandmothers' Movement to End
Book SynopsisWinner, 2018 Best Atlantic Published Book AwardA National BestsellerBy the time the AIDS pandemic in Africa had reached its height in the early 2000s, millions of children had been orphaned. In the face of overwhelming loss, the grandmothers of Africa stepped in to hold families and communities together. Author Joanna Henry and photographer Alexis MacDonald visited eight African countries, interviewing and photographing hundreds of grandmothers (including Sarah Obama, Barack Obama's grandmother) who are reclaiming hope and resurrecting lives. The extraordinary images and stories of resourceful women fighting for a better future make Powered by Love an inspiration for everyone.Writes journalist-social activist Michele Landsberg, "We thought we knew what was happening in Africa when the AIDS pandemic raged across the continent, sweeping away 35 million lives. But we never knew it the way this book reveals it, in the shockingly intimate voices of the grandmothers who had to save the abandoned children when no one else was left alive. These voices will leap straight into your heart. Their unguarded faces, in portraits that glow with character, pain and humour, will captivate you."In 2006, the Stephen Lewis Foundation launched a campaign to engage Canadian grandmothers to support their African sisters. The Grandmothers Campaign, now a movement 10,000 strong, has raised over $25 million that has gone directly into the hands of African grandmothers and their grassroots organizations. Powered by Love joins this campaign by telling the story of these indomitable women and by directing all royalties from the sale of the book to African grandmothers raising children orphaned by AIDS.Trade Review"Powered by Love is humbling and devastating and galvanising. It is testament not only to the power of love but to the power of older women to change the world." * Understorey Magazine *"Powered by Love brings the collective power of love and unity to life in an otherwise bleak world…a must read." * The Brunswickan *"Powered by Love is the untold account of AIDS in Africa. And it’s an inspired glimpse into a social movement that has held hands, wiped tears, emboldened communities, provided hope and helped sustain a continent." * See Change Magazine *"The Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign is truly an inspiring and innovative movement, mobilizing a grandmother's fierce love for her family to challenge AIDS in Africa. Powered by Love shares heartfelt testimonies of women who transformed their loss into a powerful narrative." * Kofi Annan Foundation *"Powered by Love is a book that will both break your heart wide open and inspire you." -- T.J.

ABC-CLIO Daughters of Madness
Book SynopsisTells the stories of adults who grew up as children of mentally ill mothers, whom the author calls "the daughters of madness". Each chapter of this title covers a major developmental period for the daughter of a mentally ill mother - and then explains how these daughters faced and coped with mental illness in their mothers.Trade ReviewAny book that helps us to understand the experiences of the mentally ill and their families is welcome, and Nathiel's is no exception. She has produced a useful study which is well written with clearly presented information that is accessible to mental health practitioners as well as those with mental health problems, their families and other caregivers. * Metapsychology Online Reviews *[T]here has been little written about the experience of growing up with a parent living with a mental illness….Psychotherapist Susan Nathiel's new book, Daughters of Madness: Growing Up and Older With a Mentally Ill Mother makes an important contribution to the literature by providing a qualitative description of the experiences of 18 women growing up with a mother living with mental illness….Nathiel skillfully draws from her 35 years of clinical experience in working with families in describing psychological patterns clearly and vividly. This book would be helpful for all mental health professionals and trainees to further their understanding of this experience….Daughters of Madness provides a unique, insightful, and poignant look into the challenges common to life with a parent with a mental illness. The well-organized text makes an important contribution to the literature, and the qualitative approach yields rich findings. * PsycCRITIQUES *Practitioner Nathiel lets her interviewees largely speak for themselves as they recount their horrific stories and the challenges they face. She notes that even though stigma has been reduced, the daughters experienced their trauma at a time when to have schizophrenia or bipolar disease in the family was socially unacceptable. She follows the effects of maternal mental illness from early childhood (Am I bad?) to middle childhood (Who am I?), and from the adolescent years to young adulthood and the fear of perpetuating illness in the daughters' own families. Nathiel includes the effects on fathers and other siblings as well as areas for further research. This is strong stuff, and frequently riveting. * SciTech Book News *
