The author uses her real-life experiences to guide readers through the sensitive topic of eldercare for those with a cognitive illness--from deciding when to step in and help, how to care for a parent's emotional well-being, how to make health-care decisions, and how to help manage a parent's finances. The book also features Howe's "mom book" technique: recording every health-care and parent-related update so that all caregivers are on the same page.
