Aunties: Our Older, Cooler, Wiser Friends

by Tamara Traeder, Julienne Bennett

Many of us grew up in the company of a beloved aunt, a woman who loved us unconditionally and by choice. To create this book Tamara Traeder and Julienne Bennett interviewed scores of aunties, nieces, and god-children, examining the richness of aunt-child relationships and the aunt's unique gifts to the child.

Short anecdotes about the influence various aunts, both blood and adopted, have in their nephews' and nieces' lives. The last chapter was people relating how they memorialized their aunts even after they had passed on.

It made me think about my aunt too, and how I miss her.

I truly enjoyed this book. It has wonderful insight and touching stories. I happened to pick up a copy at a second hand store. It had a beautiful message written in the front, which made it even more special.
