While attempting to maintain personal and work-life balance, her world is upended when Vassie, her beloved grandmother, suffers a devastating stroke--not only dramatically altering Jill's life, but the rest of the family as well, when Samuel, her father, unilaterally decides they will all care for his mother in order to limit the amount of time she spends in a nursing home. The additional stress of caring for an elderly loved one is an all-too-familiar occurrence for many in the United States today. As for the Gregorys, will this most sensitive yet taxing challenge bring them closer together or tear them further apart? ' -- back cover
