Reader ReviewsAs we venture into this new and unknown territory - taking care to those whom we always depended on to take care of us - this is the first, second and only book you need. In a gentle and humorous way, Ms. Morris guides you through all of the aspects of this unknown road including the medical, legal, mental, physical, etc. Maybe my favorite chapter is the one in which Ms. Morris insists that you make sure of taking care of yourself first. I saw Ms. Morris on "Oprah" and bought the book for my "first parent". Now the book comes out "bigger, better, and improved" for my second parent. Strange to think that a book can be such a gift to our real lives. I can not recommend this book more strongly.
