Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I am in a hotel room in Baltimore, the morning after speechifying at a girlsâ school a few miles away. I wake to receive a text from my eldest son, who is about to become a father. I am about to become a grandmother. #2 The baby is the homunculus, the small human dreamed up by alchemists hundreds of years ago. He is the beginning of his own story, but he is also a plotline in a larger one, a branch on an enormous tree. #3 Grandparents know the day-to-day, while grandparents wonder between times of togetherness. Itâs one difference, but there are many. Grandparents never wonder what their children are doing, while parents often wonder what their grandchildren are doing. #4 I feel a sense of great responsibility with Arthur, but being an old hand has its benefits. I know how to handle a crying baby, and I prefer to do that rather than stand by and watch while someone else delivers one.
