Raising Our Children's Children by Deborah Doucette-Dudman, Jeffrey R. Lacure
More than three million U.S. children live with grandparents or other
relatives, but kinship care has yet to receive the social support accorded other
forms of adoption and foster care. In this guidebook for grandparents parenting
grandchildren, family therapist LaCure adds therapeutic guidelines to Doucette-Dudman's
informed, empathic case studies. Principal issues addressed are managing stress,
negotiating legal hurdles, locating support, telling children their life
stories, managing conflict, and creating a stable, secure, permanent setting for
children whose parents cannot or will not parent. Doucette-Dudman and LaCure
stress that finding support for the extended family, without severing fragile
ties with the nuclear family, and creating a home that best meets the needs of
the child are the great challenges grandparents face. Kathryn Carpenter --This
text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The
Sex-Starved Marriage: The Couple's Guide to Understanding Mismatched Sexual
Desire and Boosting Their Marriage
Libido,
by Michele Weiner-Davis
It's been estimated that one-third of couples face issues
of low desire, the impact of which is felt beyond the bedroom: "Unsatisfying
sexual relationships," Davis writes, "are the all-too-frequent causes of
alienation, infidelity and divorce." Unfortunately, libidos are rarely equal;
most marriages have a low-desire spouse and a high-desire spouse. Davis offers
advice for both, bolstered by numerous examples of how that advice has worked
for couples she's encountered during her two decades as a marriage counselor.
Her "field-tested" tips are sensible rather than earth-shattering-talk openly,
be kind, commit to making a change for the better and set concrete, attainable
goals-but in the hard-to-talk-about realm of sex, very welcome indeed.
