About the Book: Caregiving for aging parents is a physical and emotional reality currently facing a large number of the 30 million baby boomers in America. That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine, based on a family caregiving approach developed by Daniel R. Tobin, M.D., and the staff of Care Support of America, presents eight activities that offer practical and pro-active guidance for middle aged people who are caregivers to their parents. This guide to coordinating the varied aspects of caregiving includes information about helping parents to remain safe in their home, understanding their medical treatment and health requirements, navigating insurance and other financial issues, dealing with the emotional issues that often arise, and finding ways to gain control of the process, improve the quality of life and create meaningful memories while caring for aging parents.

critically ill and unlikely to survive. A recent Harvard University study on pediatric end-of-life care has shown that the medical community is failing such children and their families. Indeed, in their effort to be ever-hopeful and cure-oriented in the face of a child's terminal illness, they neglect to advise parents on the basics of emotional support for all family members, pediatric pain medication, and the need for making plans and worst-case preparations.Based on the National Advanced Illness Coordinated Care program and the stories and advice gleaned from co-author Joanne Hilden's years of work as a pediatric oncologist, Shelter from the Storm fills this advice-and-caregiving void. A compassionate road map to what the family may have to face, what they may be asked to decide, and how they might want to involve their child in the decision-making, Shelter from the Storm will help parents and caregivers make informed, loving, and protective choices on behalf of their children in the most trying of times.

A fascinating, revisionist look at 16th century English politics (both public and private), examining the lives of Henry VIII's six wives as active personalities Provocative thoughts on the why and wherefore of the matrimonial quests of Henry VIII and the women who were party to them.--Denver Post Lindsey's book reads like a romance novel: airy, witty, full of drama and compassion, . . . more about sentiment than feminist theory. . . . Her chronicle is lustier, more concerned with emotion and the peculiarities of being human than other accounts have been, and her presence as a moral authority is palpable.--Los Angeles Weekly Lindsey is insightful and disarmingly funny in her musings on Henry and his sorry wives.--Arizona Republic This is an engaging read that conveys well the feelings not only of the characters but of the era as well. An occasional bit of dry humor blends nicely with Lindsey's intelligent writing style.--Tulsa World
