My Mother's Hip: Lessons from the World of Eldercare

I stumbled across this book in my local library, while searching for sources of information and guidance as I entered the caregiving relationship with my mother. While our circumstances are somewhat different than the author's, I found this book to be a helpful balance of personal narrative and issue identification and clarification. The scholarly background brings some heft to this very tender story. I bought two copies, one for my brother and one for my caregiver's support group.

As the population ages hip fractures are becoming more prevalent. This is a must read for anyone caring for a loved one who's suffered a hip fracture. As an orthopedic surgeon I'm recommending this book to my patients.
