It is seldom that I read a book in just two days, no matter how much I like it. This is not easy reading, but the background of this author’s childhood and the family dynamics are particularly interesting and make this true story a page turner.

It is also packed with vital information regarding the life and politics of some nursing homes that we all should know and be well aware of; not only in the caring for our loved ones, but also in the interest of our own lives – If a nursing home should be recommended or required.

The author writes so vividly about the emotional turmoil, the lack of good information, and time limitations when it comes to choosing the right place to put his mother that I felt his pain in the struggle. I could also connect to the frustration that he goes through in trying to be heard with his concerns for the care — or lack of care that he observes during the whole ordeal.

His experience is not unusual, but most of us don’t take the opportunity or time to write such a detailed account in a book for all to read and understand.

Thank you for this labor of love for humanity.
