Our Grandmothers: Loving Portraits by 74 Granddaughters

New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 1998.

From the Publisher:
From well-known photographers Annie Leibovitz, Judy Dater, and Keri Pickett (author of the best-seller Love on the 90s) to young students who've never before been published, Our Grandmothers gathers together a remarkably diverse group of women with fresh, honest, and loving perspectives on the life-affirming relationship between grandmother and granddaughter. Each contributor provides a portrait of her grandmother, herself, and a short essay describing their relationship. The results are simply amazing. Each portrait touches the heart and reveals something profound about love, compassion, and family.
