Publisher's Summary
We raise our children to be independent and lead fulfilling lives, but when they finally do, staying close becomes more complicated than ever. And for every bewildered mother who wonders why her children don't call, there is a frustrated son or daughter who just wants to be treated like a grownup. Now, renowned editor Jane Isay delivers the perfect gift to both parents and their adult children-real-life wisdom and advice on how to stay together without falling apart. Using extensive interviews with people from ages twenty-five to seventy, Isay shows that we're far from alone in our struggles to make this new, adult relationship work. She offers up groundbreaking insights and deeply moving stories that will inspire those in even the toughest situations. Isay's warmth and wit shines through as she charts an invaluable course through the confusing, and often painful, interactions parents and children can face. Walking on Eggshells is the much-needed road map that will keep you connected to the people you love most.

It is safe to love, apologize & be accepting
For my needs, I liked the narrator's tone of love and compassion and empathy. I needed that.
The contents' structure was different from what I expected; yet immersing myself in it was therapeutic and instructive.
I recommend this book for those who think they are alone in all of this. And who need a bit of perspective and encouragement.

Hate the narrator
Story too hard to pay attention due to the readers fake and childish inflections.
Picking the right narrator makes all the difference.

Some good ideas; terrible narration
I picked up a couple of good ideas. But many were sugar-coated. Worse, they seemed preachy and unrealistic.
The worst part was the sugary, didactic narrator talking down as if to children.
I forced myself to finish the book.
It might be better in print.
