Caring for others is hard work and an act of love.  These stories celebrate and perhaps replenish the caregiver. Literary types may put their noses in the air about Chicken Soup books; too much “feel good” writing has to be shallow. Right? In this case “no.”  The stories do have an overall uplifting vibe, but real hardships and truths are explored.  For busy caregivers,  these short personal essays build connections to transcendent themes.
