Marlene is the author of Back to the Land in Silicon Valley (2020), her memoir about raising children, animals and vegetables on a rural plot of land in the 1970s. When not writing, Marlene speaks to parent groups, teacher in-services and conferences, and walks beside the ocean with her companion Border Collie, Kismet. She still grows, prepares and eats organic food, and is happy to share her recipes.
Take a look at my Grandparenting Matters Facebook Page, where I post current research and commentary about grandparenting.
