Book Confessions of an Ex-Ballerina

Blurb:

Sometimes reality really bites. Alzheimer’s has wrapped Mom’s brain into knots,
vascular dementia has attacked Dad, and instead of carefree retirees, we have become
caregivers. Regardless, dreams die hard, and we somehow stumbled into the purchase
of a forty-foot motor home. That’s when all four of us set out on this seven-week trek
across sixteen U.S. states. Now, Dad stopped-up the toilet again, Mom wet her last pair
of clean jeans, and David just announced that he was hungry. My head is beginning
to pound, and I know this isn’t going to be the easygoing retirement we’d imagined for
ourselves.
Linda Brendle takes you on a roller-coaster ride of emotional and spiritual challenges
that many families are facing right now. Co-dependency, mental breakdowns, and
finding love after divorce are just a few of the issues weaved into this journey of
caregiving. Whether you’re looking for an inspirational story to help teach you how to “let
go and let God,” considering becoming the caregiver for one of your own parents, or are
just looking for an entertaining travel book, this story is sure to strike a tender nerve.
