Growing Older Hurts: Aging with Wisdom and Wit is thirty-one short chapters on why we take the chair with the arms on it, why supper is at four-thirty, and why the ladder never comes down off its hooks. Every one of those looks funny from across the room. Every one has a reason, and the reason is almost never the one you'd guess.

Memory's Keeper: Practical Advice for Dementia Caregivers is for the harder version of the same job. Not theory, and not a pamphlet. Practical guidance for the person doing the caring, written for the days when nobody has time to read a chapter.

Written by Don D. Brown, published by Rebell Books. Available in paperback and ebook.
