A GRANDMOTHER’S WISDOM
Lessons learnt at my Nan’s knee
Catriona Rowntree
There’s a special bond between a grandparent and a grandchild that
sets their relationship apart from any other.
Catriona Rowntree knows this first hand. Recognised
as ‘Australia’s most travelled woman’ thanks to her role on CH 9’S Getaway, Catriona has seen the world a
hundred times over. But it’s the world
through her Nan’s eyes that has really changed her life...
Catriona Rowntree loves her Nan. She grew up in the same household and it
was to this wise, loving woman that the young Catriona took all her worries
and joys. Always there was a
sympathetic ear and advice worth following.
When Catriona left home, started her media
career, found and lost boyfriends, met her future husband, married and fell
pregnant – her Nan’s words of encouragement, warmth and love helped to guide
her behaviour and choices, and still continue to do so.
A Grandmother’s Wisdom is Catriona’s memoir, interwoven with her Nan’s homespun advice.
Heartfelt and funny with a straight-talking edge,
Catriona shares intimate moments from her life, previously only whispered to
her loving Nan. A Grandmother’s Wisdom is
a book to treasure and a reminder of how important family really is.
