and I happened to find this book with it's intriguing title. I now feel that if and when something should ever happen to break apart my family unit that I will have a professional resource in this book.

When being a responsible grandparent becomes a mine field...

Through case studies the author describes the emotional, and frustrating, roles grandparents assume in efforts to hold the fragile bonds of family together during crises of divorce, parental neglect and drug abuse. Since Dr. Slorah actively participated in testimony before State and Federal legislators in formulating protective laws for grandparents, she offers practical advice to grandparents handling heart-wrenching alienation within broken families. Highly recommended.
