Mama and Me---Our last three years together and beyond by Ann
Freeman Price is a book about a relationship, built over 50 years
and culminating in Mama's death. It includes glimpses into their
past and how that impacts their present, because their push and
pull with each other is built over time. It results in both of
them---mother and daughter---wanting to work on hearing each other
and then following through with action. It is a book with many
levels. Ann is a music therapist and gives insights into how she
uses music therapy with her Mother and for herself. She works in
the nursing home where her Mother spends the last year of her life.

books together, have had discussions, so that when this end time
comes, they are as prepared as they could be. Ann discovers some

similar commitments are being carried through in her own caretaking
life with Mama. There is a nursing home level with the unusual
aspect of "family" being also "employee." The stories indicate the
creativeness of this particular facility, and at the same time they
show institutional blocks that appear. And near the time of death,
the book describes how the staff rallies to be supportive to the
