Review

Amanda is a leader and unique voice in the movement to bring help, healing, and awareness for those dealing with the trauma of being an alienated grandparent. In her book, she brings her years of experience, reading, and advocacy to help the thousands of grandparents suffereing with the profound pain of being cut off from contact with their grandchildren. She has probably talked to and reached more alienated grandparents than anyone I know, and it shows in her new book. Highly recommended.
