In this engaging book, Laura Ellingson and Patricia Sotirin construct a consideration of “aunts†that moves from noun to verb. “Aunts†is more than a group of people or a role; instead, “to aunt†is a practice, something people “doâ€. Some women “aunt†as second mothers, friends, or mentors, while others play more peripheral roles.
