Sandwich

Sandwich by Catherine Newman is a beautiful look at a hard time in life - being part of the sandwich generation between aging parents and newly adult children. 

Rocky and Nick are spending a week on Cape Cod with their adult children and Rocky's aging parents. This is a tradition of two decades, each in the same rental house. 

If you have not yet had the pleasure to read a Catherine Newman adult book (she is also a children's book author) - NOW is a good time. She writes about the parts of life that many books gloss over. You will laugh out loud and you will sob at some point. 

Sandwich is a story about love and family. It is relatable even if you don't have children, but I imagine even more impactful if you do. Go buy this book today. Once you read it a few times, you can gift it to a loved one.
