Product Description
These first-person accounts portray, with thoughtfulness and clarity, a wide range of caregiver experiences: the possibility of deepening relationships; the opportunity for forgiveness; the ability to reach out and to look within to find strength; the sorrow of watching a parent grow old; and the chance to say goodbye.

 BK Loren is an INCREDIBLE Author June 14, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
There is something about the writing of BK Loren. As I read through the story of her and her mother, my heart and mind filled with emotions. As I think of what she wrote while I write this, tears return to my eyes. This is when you know that an author is good. She makes you feel what she feels and leaves you knowing that the world is a good place although it is hard. I really look forward to her next novel. SHE IS GREAT!
 FYI for the reviewer looking for BK Loren book March 6, 2001
Just wanted to let you know, since you mentioned looking for a book by BK Loren, that her first book, The Way of the River, will be published in May 2001.
A STRONG AND MOVING COLLECTION March 16, 2000
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is certainly a strong collection of nonfiction about daughters and their parents. "Taking Care of Charlie," by Cathleen Calbert, is gripping, with some humor too. And "Chocolate," by Mary Anne Maier is the most moving piece of all. I admire it for its content and impeccable form, and I reread it periodically. Maier takes us with her on a quest to come to terms with her mother's death, but along the way we are given insight into the author as a daughter and as a human being.

I have read only one essay from this book. It was reprinted in a magazine called The Sun, and I was so impressed with the story, and could relate so well to some what was said, that I am going to order the book to read the rest.
One of those dutiful daughters ... December 21, 1999

I wrote one of the pieces in this book about my own mother, and her death. It was cathartic and helpful to write it, but I can still not read it through without shedding tears. While your aging parents are alive and a burden, it is sometimes difficult to be patient, and to savor the last of their life with them. Aging is difficult to bear for both parties. Your parent becomes your child. Reading this marvelous, rich book will help you know what a fortunate thing it is to be able to offer your love and your support to those who gave you life. I was lucky to have my "story" included in this wonderful book.
