This review is from: The Red Geranium (Hardcover)

What a wonderful job the author,Janette Oke, does to explore this very timely topic of aging in today's society and how it affects not only the elderly, but also their family members. It is sensitively written and heartwarming as well as eye-opening for all! A quick read... but a long lasting impression it leaves. Its a must for all of all ages! Should be a MUST read for all care providers!!!!
