What will a young woman do, who has just left a cloistered monastery and is now faced with the difficult transition of getting back into normal society? And what will her mother do, who had just suffered a crippling stroke and now faces the remainder of her life as an invalid? The answers are described vividly in Six Years of Grace: Caregiving Episodes With My Mother, as Seattle violinist Jenny Sokol recounts the journey she and her mother Agatha shared. Readers are drawn into intimate conversations, daily struggles, prayerful musings, and plenty of humor. For all those who face the inevitable reality of caring for an elderly parent or loved one in the future, Six Years of Grace offers light and hope for one of God's most fulfilling calls.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Six Years of Grace: Caregiving Episodes with My Mother (Paperback)
I ordered this book over a year ago. It is a wonderful description of a devoted daughter's caring for her mother after a debilitating stroke. You feel as if you are right there with her as she goes through all the happy and sad times. It also brings out Jenny and her mom's deep devotion to their Catholic faith and how it sustained them through those years.
