I loved this one as well and completely agree how it gives a much deserved look at today's elderly and the fact that they deserve so much kindness and respect. I think this author has an awesome talent and I can't wait to read what he comes up with next! <br />I am the tour stop for today, so if you get a chance, would love to have you stop by!

Jim's mom is in a nursing home and it is very surprising to see all that goes on there, with the flirting, and cliques, and friendships, and best of all, the support system they all develop with one another. Not all of it is a happy place, but a lot more than one would think!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-2858145903777808612010-04-06T09:44:08.429-04:002010-04-06T09:44:08.429-04:00I'm so excited about your review of this book....I'm so excited about your review of this book.

I think it's neat that it's being given to nursing home workers in an attempt to teach compassion. My husband's grandmother ended up in a nursing home because of her medical requirements and the staff was less than caring. It broke our hearts.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.com
