Reviews

Beckett's remarkable compilation of caregiving narratives provides insight into the diversity of caregiving experiences... Essential. An engaging and accessible text... This book is a strong addition to the caregiving literature and is well recommended. -- Leslie Hempling, Social Work in Health Care Two things that stand out to this reviewer are the efforts by individuals to impact policy and practice where they could and the use of tables to provide a visual of implications as they are discussed in each chapter. -- Needha M. Boutte-Queen, Families in Society The great diversity of caregiving is also on display in Lifting Our Voices, which vividly illustrates the challenges caregivers of diverse ethnic/racial background experience. -- Joseph E. Gaugler, Gerontologist
