Reviews

"An essential resource and guide for caregivers and for those who minister to both patients and caregivers as they walk through twilight."
*Influence Magazine*

"Grace-giving love is the underlying narrative that runs through Groothuis's story. Because of that love, this memoir will help readers who are beset by real troubles to face them with courage, wisdom, and hope."
*Charles Strohmer, Christian Century, June 6, 2018*
