I write the books I couldn't find

I cared for both of my parents through their final years — including a father who wanted to keep doing things his own way, right to the end. We didn't always agree, but we always treated each other with respect. These are the books I wish someone had handed me then: warm, practical, and honest about how hard it really is.
