About her book: Care for Caregivers

The genesis for her book began when she lectured at the Chautauqua Women’s Club on, “Caring for Caregivers.” These poems come from her years of supporting seniors and their caregivers as they face the emotional challenges related to aging and her personal experiences with her husband, Peter who is now 92."
