Mama Matters Nana Chatters: About | Sample Chapters | Feedback
Mother-daughter team Janet Gladstein (Nana) and Jill Meyer (Mama) bring new voices to the non-fiction genre of parenting in their edgy and insightful collection of short stories, “Mama Matters, Nana Chatters.” Combining Jill’s humorous anecdotes illustrating a frazzled mom at the crux of motherhood and career with Janet’s nostalgic reflections as a mother and new outlook as a grandmother, their individual perspectives on motherhood and life will have readers laughing, crying, and most of all validating their feelings and realizing they are not alone. Packed with Jill’s confessions that she would rather be at work than at home doing the Hokey Pokey and Janet’s 20/20 hindsight realization that she should have hired more babysitters and focused more on herself, Mama Matters, Nana Chatters is easy to read in short spurts and is perfect for women in the throes of motherhood, those having been there, done that, and anyone contemplating giving up their figure, dinners out, sanity, and crayon-free walls for the next eighteen-plus years.
