  • “Finally a book that understands the complex journey and feelings around caring for your parents. My mother died this year after a long decline into the depths of dementia and I wish I’d had this book 5 years ago when I was consumed with guilt and indecision around mum’s care. 
    This book will make you cry and laugh in equal measure. Written with humour and empathy - this is a must read for anyone with ageing parents..    ”
