About the Book
As one of 67 million Americans who serve as caretakers to their elderly parents, Susan Hartzler cared for her dad for three years, gaining profound insight into Parkinson’s disease and the multifaceted challenges of caregiving. Throughout this period, Hartzler’s rescue dog, Baldwin, a precious gift from her late mom, provided unwavering support.
This memoir offers a personal roadmap for those facing similar caregiving decisions. Thoughtful, tragic, and funny, it shows that, while demanding, caregiving can be a fulfilling endeavor, especially with a dog by one’s side. The author’s story will better prepare others in similar situations and encourage them to consider the value of a canine companion on their caregiving journey.
