I initially picked this book up at the library because I enjoy her column. I found myself wanting to mark pages due to all the resources she mentions in the book. In fact, there were so many I decided it would be easier to just buy the book. I was impressed by her ability to adapt to changes in society without losing her sense of values. This one is a keeper.

My wife reads real life stories to the elderly at an assisted living facility so the residents can talk about how they would go about responding. We couldn't find this book in print so we went to a used book. Easy to find, easy to purchase, good price, fast delivery. What more can you ask for? Thanks for the great service.
