Elizabeth R. Pettiford Volgorde van de boeken

Three seniors become tangled in a web when they cook up an alternative living arrangement that hardly fits their children's agendas. Families are pulled apart, then woven back together again with a special thread. The theme that runs throughout the narrative is whose life is it anyway? Issues between these adult children and their aging parents go much further than just medical issues. By the end of the story, a secret from the past comes to light for one of the characters. There is much more to aging than the obvious aches and pains, role reversals, fears of diminished capacity, confusion, and reduced freedom. A tale of sadness, love, suspense, and laughter, Family in the Attic takes an honest, multi-generational look at growing old. Both the elderly and their adult children in the story speak for themselves, letting the reader into their hearts and minds sharing what it feels like for each of them as the age, and the common problems they face.
