This is Julie's heartfelt, journalistic and groundbreaking book filled with emotion and right-where-you-live counsel for caregivers of elder loved ones. It is real. Sometimes poignant. Sometimes gut-wrenching. Sometimes messy. Always challenging. This is a book about changing roles. It is the combined stories of dozens of grown children and how they learned to recognize and cope with the shift from taker to giver, from child of their parents to caretakers of those same people who nurtured them in their early lives.
