Author:  Jane Isay grew up in New York City, the daughter of a columnist for The New York Post and a psychiatrist.  In 2004, Jane left her job as Editor-in-Chief at Harcourt Trade Books to embark on a new career as a writer.  Walking on Eggshells is the result.  She lives in Manhattan with her husband.  Their sons live nearby.  They have one grandson, upon whom she dotes.  Their son, Dave Isay is the founder of StoryCorps and Author of Listening Is an Act of Love: A Celebration of American Life from the StoryCorps Project.

Title:  Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents, $14.00 Softcover, ISBN 9780767920858, On Sale Date:  February 26, 2008

This past spring the insightful book, Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents was published to great fanfare.  Jane Isay appeared on NBC's Today Show, CBS's The Early Show, was profiled in USA Today, and featured in The Wall Street Journal; The New York Times called Walking on Eggshells "a quietly groundbreaking exploration of the ties between adult children and their parents." Most parents dreamed of the time when their children were grown and they could enjoy a relaxed and easy relationship.  But many struggle with their adult children, and they lie awake at night, worrying about their troubles, their mistakes, and the degree of distance between the generations.

What:  Jane Isay will Kick-Off the Kansas City Literary Festival 2008, talk about her new book, her life, her work, answer audience questions and she will autograph copies of her new book purchased from Rainy Day Books, on our website and / or at our Author Event, that are accompanied by a Stamped Ticket.
