Remarkable Caregiving is a compilation of six true stories told to the author. Meet a law-abiding woman forced to kidnap a loved one, a man who was a “relief pitcher” for his best friend, and parents of children born with disabilities who found innovate solutions. Meet a woman born into poverty, who made a life for herself and her children, only to be thrust into crisis care for her mother. Learn how a daughter put her beliefs into action by caring for her dad, whatever the cost. And meet the woman who found her purpose in not just becoming a paid caregiver, but a full-time, live-in family member to two adults with Down syndrome.
What made these caregivers resilient, inventive, and resourceful? What did they learn, and what can they teach us? You will be moved as you read these stories, witnessing how they incorporated values of family, friendship, faith, and love while caring for another.
Included in Remarkable Caregiving are three appendices: (1) financial and legal information, (2) discussions points about taking a loved one into a home, and (3) discussion questions for book clubs and groups.
Remarkable Caregiving will give caregivers and others hope in humanity.
