Others are heartbreaking stories of difficult, or even absent, grandmothers. But each celebrates the sometimes warm, sometimes tense, always special relationship between grandmothers and their granddaughters.</p><p>A tribute to the women who shape our families and our lives, these are stories to read, to share, and to treasure.</p>
