Summary

A poignant, funny, and often heartbreaking story of a daughter struggling to keep her father out of a nursing home, this memoir will appeal to people caught in the sandwich generation: caring for both children and aging parents.  

For nearly a decade, Jackie watched over her father's care. She quickly found her world filled with adult diapers, a pharmacy of pills, and days heavily laced in utter boredom. As the days melted together, Jackie came to understand what her father was teaching her - how to live in constant gratitude and with a heart full of love.
