Raising Grandkids focuses on "skipped generation" families or
grandparent-headed households. Collecting together stories from
other grandparents and reflecting on his own experience as a
caregiver to his step-grandchildren, Gary Garrison paints a
compassionate yet compelling picture of the joys, fears, and
passions that drive some grandparents to put their later lives on
hold to raise their children's children. Grandparents in this
situation have particular challenges, as they often have to battle
their own children for custody, deal with pressures from
caseworkers, negotiate their own health and financial issues, and
address the guilt and resentment they may feel towards the missing
son or daughter who conceived the children now in their care. As
well, many fear their grandchildren will be taken away, which keeps
them silent and isolated. This fear can be particularly profound
for Indigenous and Metis grandparents, who bear intergenerational
wounds of racism and genocide, as they struggle to create a better
future for themselves and their grandchildren. No matter their
background, grandparents looking for comfort, guidance, and wisdom
will find meaning in this brave and clear-eyed book.
