Ladysitting: My Year with Nana at the End of Her Century

By Lorene Cary

Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company

“Radiant.” ―O, The Oprah Magazine

From cherished memories of childhood weekends with Nana to the reality of the year she spent “ladysitting,” Lorene Cary journeys through stories of their time together and five generations of their African American family. Weaving a narrative of her complicated relationship with Nana―a fiercely independent and often stubborn woman whose family fled the Jim Crow South and who managed her own business until 100―Cary captures the ruptures, love, and forgiveness that can occur in the family as she bears witness to her grandmother’s vibrant life.

“Ladysitting is boldly literate and a brilliant work of art.… A lyrical odyssey of the multiply-descended and cross-generational heritage of black diaspora in a strange and.”

– Houston Baker, Distinguished University Professor, Vanderbilt University

“A thoroughly engaging memoir.… Cary invites readers into a complex extended family.… A distinctly American story.”

– Martha Anne Toll, NPR

“A dive into Cary’s own history.… What resonates loudest in Ladysitting, however, is the love that Cary gives back to her grandmother.”

– Dan Marshall, New York Times Book Review

“Rain dances nourishment from the soil.Tears waltz love from the heart Sun dances a boogie-woogie while Lorene Cary is Ladysittingwith her Grandmother

Question: Who brings the beer?”

– Nikki Giovanni

“Cary’s chronicle of this centenarian (+1) is written with candor, warmth, and love. The final chapters are critical reading for anyone with an aging loved one at the end of their life.”

– Betsy Lerner, author of The Bridge Ladies

“[Cary] movingly portrays what it’s like to care for a loved one.”

– Elizabeth Sile, Real Simple

“Open the cover of Ladysitting, and you’re immediately yanked into a story with an ending you already know.… One of the more deftly-written, truthful accounts in this genre.”

– Terri Schlichenmeyer, Washington Informer

“A heartfelt, multifaceted story.… This reflective memoir steeped in love and forgiveness explores a devoted granddaughter’s perceptions about her grandmother.”

– Shelf Awareness

“With admiration, triumph, and love, Cary captures the universal experience of close family loss.”

– Booklist

“A candid, sensitive memoir.… Thoughtful reflections on pain, love, and family.”

– Kirkus Reviews

Lorene Cary is author of the memoirs Ladysitting and Black Ice, three novels, and a book for young readers. She teaches at the University of Pennsylvania and has written a one-act opera of Ladysitting and a play, My General Tubman. She lives in Philadelphia.

During the coronavirus pandemic, energy has become a highly valuable commodity as audience members struggle to find a work/life balance when work is at home as well, and splitting attention between more tasks than ever has left man audience members making a few more mistakes, feeling the brain fog come on as demand for their attention overwhelms their supply of it, and they’re left wondering what to do! In this interview Dr. Cardillo can speak on the following topics that will help:

o    How to use the entire attentional system, beyond just focus (which is only one part)

o    How to avoid fading out

o    Awareness, mindfulness and attention are not the same thing and how and when to employ each

o    A process to relieve data overflow, internal and external distraction

o    How to use “in a glance” mental capacity to “catch” more desired detail

o    How to regulate the brain’s automatic, high-speed attention triggers and use them to your advantage

Award-winning researcher and energy management expert Joseph Cardillo answers these questions and more in his easy to understand, yet powerful new book, The 12 Rules of Attention: How to Avoid Screw-Ups, Free Up Headspace, Do More and Be More At Work (Nicholas Brealey, on-sale: July 14, 2020; $10.12/eBook; $19.95/paperback).

The myriad of ways to successfully develop attention and focus are artfully and skillfully advanced in a stepwise approach. Join in the good humor and fun to develop your better brain while you keep a little soul.”

We all need that. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is involved in self-improvement or who wants to advance in the workplace.”
