A personal account by the author, an independent scholar and lecturer living in Lincoln, Nebraska, of her experiences caring for her husband in their home. She "describes her initial denial, her discovery of coping skills, her eventually acceptance of his illness, and her ultimate recognition that the key to successful caregiving lies in never losing sight of the patient's humanness. The book outlines twenty coping and survival strategies and guide caregivers to untapped inner resources and shows caregiving's intangible rewards of increased self-respect and self-knowledge."
