Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-24 00:00:00 James Webb A book that examines Lilian's relationship with her mother and her daughter in the light of aging. Made me examine my own relationships more carefully. A book that makes you more introspective.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-04 00:00:00 Joseph Madel I'm the sort that can get drawn into advice columns and before I know it, hours have passed. This book is one big advice column. Dilemmas are posed, and advice is given. Some of it is funny, some serious, some make me think of the occasional letters Dear Abby readers would call out as fake. Basically parents, just keep your mouths shut and don't interfere in your adult kids' lives, unless they or your grandchildren are truly endangered. Let them make their own mistakes and respect their decisions, especially those you don't agree with. It was fun to read and made me feel like I'm doing a better job "raising" my kids as young adults than I did when they were teenagers. Maybe that has something to do with the teenage part?
