In Weed-O Veritas

By Patty Friedmann

"Grandmothers of the world, now and in the future, read Patty Friedmann's book It is a fount of wisdom that takes no prisoners but nourishes heart and mind. If I wasn't her age, I would claim her as my own grandmother. As it is, I'll have to sigh and be a man, that is to say, clueless about the complexity of that knowledge, but happy to share its rewards."

- Andrei Codrescu, author of New Orleans, Mon Amour

"An extraordinary book-candid, irreverent, compassionate, loving, generous, and bizarre-on the final, and most brilliant, phase of a woman's life. Patty Friedmann uses details that detonate our memories and reinforce the deeply hidden bonds that tie us together as old, wise women. One of my favorites is her memory of visiting 'Billy's grandmother' - 'And the ice trays were covered with melted-and-refrozen Neapolitan ice cream...' Oh, Lord, yes. The woman we didn't want to become. But did."

- Wendy Crisp, author of 100 Things I'm Not Going to Do Now That I'm over 50 and When I Grow up I want to Be 60
