Grandparenthood between autonomy and connection
Andrew J. Cherlin and a fellow family sociologist examine American grandparenthood as a changing social role. The book centers on the pull between maintaining an independent life and sustaining meaningful family ties, placing grandparents within broader shifts in family relationships. Its sociological approach makes room for questions of responsibility, belonging, and the place grandparents occupy across generations.
