Letters from Madelyn, Chronicles of a Caregiver
is a true story, as told through the letters from a mother to her daughter after they both experience life-altering events. Readers laugh through their tears as Madelyn describes her physical struggles and spiritual growth as she cares for her husband of 51 years after he suffers a debilitating stroke.
Madelyn writes about loss, anger, frustration, hope, and her occasional bouts with depression. She questions the Bible, challenges convention, and rails against the manufacturers of adult diapers. Five years after her husband’s stroke, Madelyn handles Quentin’s reawakening sexual desire with grace and humor. She proves that with love, faith, and determination, a person can find strength and peace, even when a loved one’s life is not ending easily.
