Family Reunions explores the strains in relations between the
middle-aged and their adult children, on the one hand, and their
elderly parents on the other. Baby boomers in their search for
advice on how to negotiate healthy relations at either end usually
come up empty-handed. Amid a forest of self-help and pop psychology
books, shelves of how-to manuals on parenting, where is the book
that addresses the yearning that parents and grown children have
for meaningful, authentic, "adult" connection? Now, here is the
book that shows how autonomy and connection are not opposites, but
complements. A true collaboration between a husband who is a
respected journalist, columnist, and author, and a wife who was a
practicing psychologist and author. Dr. Trotter died before the
book was finished, yet her ideas and therapy experience rise up
from these pages. Because of the unusual circumstances of its
writing--Sharland Trotter learned she had cancer about a year into
the work of the book--and the unusual way the author dealt with her
mortal illness, this is a highly personal book. Any adult picking
up this book will be able to find it relevant to her own age and
circumstance because the narrative follows the entire life course.
Wise and informed, the authors examine and propose strategies for
the traps that parents and grown children fall into. Ultimately,
they offer hope that it is never to late to create loving,
respectful family ties.
