""Generation Care is an eye-opening book that will spark both recognition and relief for millions of millennials. It makes a powerful case for an infrastructure of care that flows in multiple directions among biological and chosen family members. We all need care at some point in our lives."" --Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America, Author of Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family ""At turns bitingly funny and deeply personal, Jennifer Levin's trenchant new book offers both a practical guide for anyone attempting to navigate the emotional, logistical, and financial morass of our dysfunctional 21st century care system, and a vital roadmap for all of those determined to change it. Levin fearlessly cuts through the shame and guilt that too often accompany our conversations about the costs and compromises of caring for those we love, boldly giving voice to the myriad private anxieties, insecurities, and doubts with which caretakers have long suffered in silence."" --Steven Levenson, award-winning playwright and screenwriter ""Through compelling case studies and practical guidance, this book offers vital support for a generation shouldering unprecedented caregiving responsibilities. It's an essential resource for anyone trying to balance caring for loved ones while preserving their own wellbeing.""--Dr. Claire Plumbly, psychologist and author of The Trauma of Burnout
