      <b>“If there is a doyenne of the parenting memoir, it would be Anne Lamott.”—<i>Time </i></b> In <i>Some Assembly Required</i>, Anne Lamott enters a new and unexpected chapter in her own life: grandmotherhood. Stunned to learn that her son, Sam, is about to become a father at nineteen, Lamott begins a journal about the first year of her grandson Jax’s life. In careful and often hilarious detail, Lamott and Sam—about whom she first wrote so movingly in <i>Operating Instructions</i>—struggle to balance their changing roles. By turns poignant and funny, honest and touching, <i>Some Assembly Required </i>is the true story of how the birth of a baby changes a family—as this book will change everyone who reads it.
