I had high hopes for this book as I had admired Judy Bailey for years. She covered many topics but I don't really think I learned anything new. However she talked about GrandFriends - a nationwide organisation that pairs older people with young families who have no older relatives in their lives. I'm glad that she brought this to my attention as it is something I may be interested in.
The book appears to be well researched and there are about 10 pages at the end listing further reading and resources.
