Eye of My Heart 27 Writers Reveal the Hidden Pleasures and Perils of Being a Grandmother EDITED BY BARBARA GRAHAM INTRODUCTION BY MARY PIPHER, Ph.D. To Isabelle Eva In memory of Bessie Kopelman Glick and Esther Lewin Graham “The Laws of Primogeniture” My grandson has my father’s mouth with its salty sayings and my grandfather’s crooked ear which heard the soldiers coming. He has the pale eyes of the cossack who saw my great-great-grandmother in the woods, then wouldn’t stop looking. And see him now, pushing his bright red firetruck towards a future he thinks he’s inventing all by himself. —LINDA PASTAN Contents Epigraph iii Prefaceb y Barbara Graham . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ix Introduction by Mary Pipher, Ph.
