The Book is "Dear Zoe" It speaks to many sides of divorce that so many families face--what can a young child understand about her parents’ divorce, how does the child deal with with her feelings, and what about this increasingly central role grandmothers are asked to play as surrogate mothers to their grandchildren? Patricia Friedberg and MaryAnne Amato will describe the book and warm and inviting illustrations. Steve Steiner, a family therapist from the Jewish Family and Children’s Services of Sarasota/Manatee, and their director of counseling, Wendy Effron, will join us to offer thoughts about the effects of divorce on children and the unheralded support the extended family can offer.
