This book makes a wonderful contribution to the literature on caregiving and the importance and problems of family caregiving. It could be the best single source–for the widest readership–on the contemporary crisis in family caregiving, from its demographics to its personal tragedies and its professional, institutional, and legislative dimensions. –Arthur W. Frank, author of At the Will of the Body: Reflections on Illness; The Wounded Storyteller: Body, Illness, and Ethics; and The Renewal of Generosity
