Grace on the Ledge: a caregiver's memoir

Meer over het boek

Grace presided over her husband, five children, and assorted pets with the hyper-observant eye and confidence of a perfectionist. Relocating to Colorado from the northeast, she introduced modern homemaking and timeless etiquette to the less than civilized west. Decades later she suffers a stroke. As eldest daughter, the author becomes caregiver and advocate. Struggling against her mother's compulsion to manage other people's lives, she knows her own role must change. The author exposes relentless self-doubt on her tangled journey to accept her mother-and ultimately herself.
