About this ebook
The experience of being a caregiver for a loved one is an uncertain journey of challenges and choices. Many adult children are graduating into a world of a different normal.
In To Reach a Reason, this became a true, spiritual journey, during the course of ten years. A story unfolds among one of several caregivers, in a family who unyieldingly took on the task of giving care to their mom, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimers disease.
The most challenging of times evolved into a spiritual journey, which bore the fruits of both abundant and unexpected blessings.
