IN THE CARE OF STRANGERS reminds me as a parent to have fun with our children TODAY and make appropriate plans. As a daughter I am reminded that the homemade hugs and cookies will not always be there and to enjoy them. As a nurse I recall through tears, those precious folk who for just a brief moment in time, were in our care and eternally in our hearts. Thank you to the authors for this rich, fresh breeze straight off of great-grandma's porch.

Very poignant.

The book is well written and easy to read. Narratives introduce the reader to each chapter, as well as interesting people. Those who have (or will have) a relative or friend in a nursing home must read for the unique perspective from the resident's angle.
