"""A compelling insight into being a caregiver: the ups, the downs, the dynamics-and the considerable rewards. Highly recommended!"" -The Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards ""I was hooked from the beginning. This emotional narrative of a son's love and commitment to his aging mother is poignant and, at times, humorous. It deeply resonated and should with anyone who has experienced or is experiencing the journey with aging parents. Beautifully written, informative, and moving."" -Marsha Humphries-Mixon, retired health insurance manager ""Seth's writing beautifully captures the emotional roller coaster of loving an aging parent. I often related to his personal stories and strongly shared his sentiments since I am caring for my mother, who is approaching her centennial years. The author's captivating recount of his thoughts and feelings while taking care of his mother had me laughing, crying, and nodding in understanding. Reading Seth's journey has allowed me to enjoy the good times with my mother and take a deep breath during the trying times. I hope others find comfort in his words, as I have."" -Kim Shelver, instructional design manager"
