From bestselling author and clinical psychologist Janis Abrahms
Spring comes a refreshingly honest and tender portrait of a devoted
daughter caring for her father through his final years of life
After her mother died, Janis Abrahms Spring "inherited" her
father-Pop- and set off on an all-consuming five-year mission to
make his days as rich and comfortable as possible. This is their
story, overflowing with humor, insight, and love. In beautifully
crafted vignettes, spring brings their deepening relationship to
life-both the joy and the imposition, the happiness and the
heartaches.
From her unique perspective as a clinical psychologist, Spring
explores the emotional and practical complexities of parenting a
parent. Inspiring, deeply moving, and frank, "Life with Pop" is an
ultimately comforting meditation on a universal experience, as well
as a book with profound lessons on how to grow old gracefully.
