Description
The Reluctant Carer: A Memoir
This is a deeply moving and urgently needed memoir about life as a carer. When an elderly parent needs help, the answer seems simple: drop everything and be there. But in reality, caring for someone 24/7 can quickly unravel your own life.
With humour, honesty and unflinching insight, this book explores what it means to care for others, and the ties that bind us even tighter when we least expect it. It's a love letter to family, friends, carers and anyone who has ever packed a small bag with the intention of staying just a few days.
