WWU Professor & Caregiver on Blessed is She

"Dr. Davis has authored an outstanding resource for caregivers from multiple perspectives. It is based on sound social science theory, the author's personal life experience, and the input of many who volunteered for interviews by the author. The result is an amalgam of sound advice, information and and inspiration. Any caregiver will benefit from a reading of this very approachable book."

Caregiver Support Group Facilitator on Nanette's Recent Presentation

"I want to thank you so very much for your presentation at our caregiver support group. It was excellent. You spoke honestly about your caregiving experience and people could really identify with you and what you were feeling. I was so thankful that you spoke of the need to care for yourself in the midst of caring for your loved one. You showed such compassion and understanding. I hope many will read your book; several had and told me how grateful they were for it...."

Midwest Book Review on Blessed is She

"Caring for an elder is not an easy job. Blessed is She...Elder Care: Women's Stories of Choice, Challenge, and Commitment is a collection... [that includes] more than sixty different women who reflect on the daily challenges that come with caring for an elderly relative. The daily struggle of mourning alongside someone who wishes they didn't need the help, the tragedy of failure and the price one must pay. Blessed is She is a unique and moving collection of triumph and tragedy."
