Final Gifts

“In her short but powerful memoir, Final Gifts, noted American author-essayist Carol Mithers… captured a sense of legacy that all humans deserve a chance to share.”
— Pauline Finch, Book Reporter

Caring for aging parents may be today’s defining midlife experience—and Carol Mithers went through it in multiples. Four aging relatives needed her at once, while she was working and raising her own family, sweeping her into a place she calls elderworld. The experience changed her forever. This memoir, funny, sad, brutally honest, and ultimately life-affirming, is a must for every member of the “sandwich generation.”
