Compelling background stories of a sheltered life in the 1950’s captivate the reader with extraordinary occurrences that provide fuel for Ms. Mestrovich to set her compass on a new direction in life. Transforming past negatives into a realistic and positive framework for her future, she pioneers self-help-programs personally and professionally that enhance holistic education for youth and holistic aging for parent and grandparent generations.

The Grandma Boom Chronicles excels in making connections from her grandparents and parents’ way of life to a new way to experience aging and grandparenting. From pain control to intuitive occurrences, adventures in the wild and newly developed techniques for use with herown grandchildren, Janai settles into a delightful approach for her own holistic aging process.She includes keeping her inner child active with a vivid imagination, playful demeanor and fun as tools for a healthy aging process. Ms. Mestrovich acknowledges that cross-generational activities with young children and youth of all ages keep the brain stimulated and the demeanor more active. With a second adulthood in her mid sixties, she partners with the idea of the inner child’s second childhood for a robust life experience that brings more laughter and an upbeat attitude. Fun grandparenting lends a hand in a joyful manner. Having a sense of adventure and deep purpose for helping others, Janai Mestrovich adventures into threatening and unusual experiences that allow her to tap more of her own human potential.

I hope all can learn from this book what I have – that every stage of life has its ups, downs, and most importantly, hidden miracles. It made me feel young at heart, even at 90.

Janai Mestrovich’s book is a journey of truth and wisdom. Baby Boomers will love the astute and humorous anecdotes of growing up post WWII in Kansas. Laugh, cry, and grow along with Janai on her life’s tumultuous path. Share in her insights and perspectives that link the past to the present. You will come away with renewed hope and joy for life at any stage. The affirmations at the end of the book are a tool for transformation, as I have personally experienced. If you appreciate the writings of Isabel Allende and Sandra Cisneros, you will thoroughly enjoy this book.
