ABOUT THE BOOK:
Sometimes
reality really bites. Alzheimer’s has wrapped Mom’s brain into knots, vascular
dementia has attacked Dad, and, instead of carefree retirees, we have become
caregivers. Regardless, dreams die hard, and we somehow stumbled into the
purchase of a forty-foot motor home. That’s when all four of us set out on this
seven-week trek across sixteen U.S. states. Now, Dad stopped-up the toilet
again, Mom wet her last pair of clean jeans, and David just announced that he
was hungry. My head is beginning to pound, and I know this isn’t going to be
the easygoing retirement we’d imagined for ourselves.
Linda
Brendle takes you on a roller-coaster ride of emotional and spiritual
challenges that many families are facing right now. Co-dependency, mental
breakdowns, and finding love after divorce are just a few of the issues weaved
into this journey of caregiving. Whether you’re looking for an inspirational
story to help teach you how to “let go and let God,” considering becoming the
caregiver for one of your own parents, or are just looking for an entertaining
travel book, this story is sure to strike a tender nerve.
