It was becoming a grandmother. She was hit with a jolt of joy so intense and unexpected, she wanted to \"investigate\" it--as though it were a news flash. And so, using her \u003ci\u003e60 Minutes\u003c\/i\u003e skills, she explored how grandmothering changes a woman's life, interviewing friends like Whoopi Goldberg, colleagues like Diane Sawyer (and grandfathers, including Tom Brokaw), as well as the proverbial woman next door. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlong with these personal accounts, Stahl speaks with scientists and doctors about physiological changes that occur in women when they have grandchildren; anthropologists about why there are grandmothers, in evolutionary terms; and psychiatrists about the therapeutic effects of grandchildren on both grandmothers and grandfathers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eBecoming Grandma\u003c\/i\u003e, Stahl shares stories about her own life with granddaughters Jordan and Chloe, about how her relationship with her daughter, Taylor, has changed, and about how being a grandfather has affected her husband, Aaron. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an era when baby boomers are becoming grandparents in droves and when young parents need all the help they can get raising their children, Stahl's book is a timely and affecting read that redefines a cherished relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLESLEY STAHL is one of America's most recognized and experienced broadcast journalists.
