by A. Madness to Magic Authors' Collective (Author)

"Compelling, heartbreaking, and uplifting, these deeply personal tales by family caregivers are powerful and timely, given the rapidly aging global population. Part roadmap, part support group, this book is an invaluable companion for those who, at great cost, take on the noblest of sacrifices with courage, love, and humility." - Steve Lopez, award-winning journalist, Los Angeles Times Golden State columnist, and author of the New York Times bestselling The Soloist and Independence Day.

"An insightful and heartfelt overview of the caregiving experience. A role no one aspires to, being a caregiver comes with stress, overwhelm, and grief; however, as you'll read in the stories included here, it also is accompanied by joy, laughter, and love. This book gives readers a glimpse into the world of caregiving and how, despite the challenges, it can be a fulfilling and loving experience." - Cathy Barrick, CEO, Alzheimer Society of Ontario

"The lived experiences of more than 40 million US family caregivers have long been wrapped in sentimentality or simply ignored. In this masterful anthology, we hear remarkably raw stories of love, heartbreak, sacrifice, exhaustion, grit, and frustration. This book will reassure every caregiver: you are not alone." - Katy Butler, award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author of Knocking on Heaven's Door and The Art of Dying Well.

Whether it's a grandparent, a parent, a sibling, a spouse, or anyone you consider to be "family"...Being a caregiver to someone who no longer can care for themselves is challenging. It's full of physical demands and emotional stresses...AND so many rewards. Family caregivers are unpaid and unsung heroes; this book is dedicated to them. With 22 family caregivers sharing their personal stories, these voices offer insights, inspiration, and a reality check about those ties that bind. This book was made possible thanks to a grant from The Picerne Family Foundation; proceeds from book sales go to charity. I am grateful and humbled to have spearheaded this effort...Paolina Milana, George Bailey and Me
