Beyond Awesome!! Excellent book!

This is a book that should be read by every high school student, college, medical school students & residents every mother and father , sister and brother . This book compares similarities of children’s stages thru adulthood and elderly what we think and how they and we treat them.I am 62 and wished it was written sooner. I am a retired nurse and found this information accurate, very sad at times and hard to put down. Thank you so much DR. Louise Aronson for writing this book!!
