As an author I’m very selective about the books I read. I don’t have a lot of time in my schedule to read just anything, so I choose to be focused on content that helps me grow as a person of faith and as an author of non-fiction and fiction. I recently chose a non-fiction book by Stacey Randall entitled UNCONVENTIONAL GRANDPARENTING. I read it in two days!! I couldn’t put it down. Imagine a true tale of loss, loss and more loss only to find incredible GAIN because of perseverance and hope - which we all need! It’s a tale/journal-book for readers to bring their own stories into its pages by journaling and responding to questions. It’s both therapeutic and revelatory; the readers place themselves IN the shoes of a parent whose adult child completely abandons them, has children and refuses to allow the natural love of grandparenting to take root. THEN the story moves to foster children and the loss of them, one after another. The sadness I felt for the parents and the grandparents was immense. One loss after another.

Yet, the story opens its doors to hope in SO MANY ways. If you have EVER been impacted by the loveless loss of adult children you raised or the deep penetrating pain of having little toddlers and babies taken away by the fostering system, this book is a MUST READ.

I loved the book and recommend it highly to you. Click here to buy it on Amazon: a.co/d/0aRzObwF
