In lyrical prose, award-winning author and professional caregiver
Lynn Scott shares her insights and the love she found in an
unlikely place. "A Joyful Encounter" parallels her experience
caring for Marietta, an Alzheimer patient, with that of her own
mother, who died twenty years before with dementia. This love story
explores the wisdom, wit, and irony that transfers from Scott's
patients to her own heart, and allows her to forgive her mother,
and more importantly, herself, for their difficult past.
Lynn Scott, senior caregiver and former Director of the
Children's Program at the Center for Attitudinal Healing in
Sausalito, California, has received awards in non-fiction, fiction,
and poetry. She seeks to uncover the healing potential in any
situation.
This wonderful book overflows with Lynn Scott's own brand of
gutsy, spontaneous delight. While compassion makes all the rest
possible, it is her honesty, flexibility, and verve that
distinguishes this book, and allows the reader to share fully in
the pleasure of her many insights. -Dr. Dori Appel, psychologist,
award winning playwright, and poet, co-author of the hit comedy,
"Hot Flashes" (Samuel French, 2005)
