The Promise I Kept

A poignant, funny, and often heartbreaking story of a daughter struggling to keep her father out of a nursing home, this memoir will appeal to people caught in the sandwich generation: caring for both children and aging parents. For nearly a decade, Jackie watched over her father's care. She quickly found her world filled with adult diapers, a pharmacy of pills, and days heavily laced in utter boredom. As the days melted together, Jackie came to understand what her father was teaching herhow to live in constant gratitude and with a heart full of love.
