Elaine's memoir is a book that should be read by anyone who is or has gone through being a caretaker for an elderly relative. I could not believe how much this book resonated with me. As a former elderly caregiver, there were many times throughout the book that I thought, "I had that happen too!" It just reminded me that even though I was alone in the journey of taking care of my Aunt, I wasn't alone!

Elaine did a great job in giving the background history about her family. The glimpses in her relationship with her mother and family helped with explaining the feelings of the child becoming the parent. Kudos to Elaine for putting her story out there. I'm sure it was hard to relive those emotional times in her life, but it will help others.
