Finally, a Book That Acknowledges the Realities of Working Caregivers
As someone juggling work and eldercare responsibilities, I felt seen while reading this. But more importantly, it equips business leaders with tools and solutions—not just sympathy. The chapters on leveraging FMLA and internal support systems are incredibly helpful. Every organization should have this in their leadership toolkit.
