The Generation Gap

Amongst the paperbacks in the earlier post is one called The Generation Gap. This started life as a series of articles published in a family magazine.

Daughter, who was about 16/17 at the time of writing, and I, who sometimes felt about 127, chose a different topic each month and wrote about it from our own perspectives. We didn't see what the other had written until we had both finished and we didn't allow ourselves to change anything.
