Summary: An honest, well-written book
Review: Coarl and Debra I cannot tell you enough how I apreciated reading your book. It's helped me a lot in working with the older adult and especially with my aging mother. I like the laymans language that you used when writing your book,it was so easy to understand, I didn't have to have my webster dictionary in the other hand as I was reading. I work at a veterans home and I am planning to do an inservice, with another colleague, for the staff at the home. I'm plan to do this at the end of October and I'm going to use your book as a resource. Again thanks for writing such a great and helpful book as there is not alot out there for the older adult.

Summary: Emotional reading
Review: I have suffered from food addiction for many years. This book has helped me dig deep into myself to find out when my eating disorder began. If you suffer from an eating disorder or would like to better understand how an eating disorder affects the life of someone you care about, this book is definately worth purchasing.

Summary: For anyone concerned about an older parent
Review: I purchased this book because this is a subject that is very close to me. The premise of the book (a food addict attends a clinic to help her understand her food addiction) was of great interest to me. The use of food addict was also something that drew me to this book, as I have believed for a long time that there is such a thing. This book does not disappoint. The author is very honest in her detailing of her experiences. From the beginning when she felt that this clinic stay was of no use to her, we can feel the pain she was in. The story simply gets more fascinating (and candid) as the author reveals herself more and more. In the end, you are cheering her on. I have found this book to be extremely helpful in looking at the whole body image, wellness issue in a totally different view. If you are hoping for a quick fix, this would not be the book for you. But if you believe that you can achieve wellness by better understanding your body and mind, this is the book for you.
Excellent purchase!

Summary: Enlightening and a God Send
Review: This book gave me what I'd been searching for -- a guide to help my 67 year old mother who has a serious alcohol problem. She didn't remember conversations, slurred her words, had falls during the night, had bruises on her face and arms, ate poorly, isolated from us and her friends, and refused to see a doctor. I slowly watched my wonderful mother change before my eyes. I couldn't even trust her to babysit her grandchildren. This book not only gave me the information I needed, but helped get my reluctant brother and sister to finally agree to get our mother help. I give this book my wholehearted endorsement and recommend it to anyone worried about an older parent who has an alcohol problem. I haven't found any other book like it.

Summary: For anyone concerned about an older parent
Review: This book is written for anyone concerned about an older parent, grandparent or other older adult who has a problem with alcohol or mood-altering medications. It is the only book I've found that covers this topic so completely and, not only does it explain the problem clearly, it offers practical steps to help the older person get the right kind of help and live out the rest of their golden years sober -- able to, once again, enjoy family, grandchildren and friends. Best insight: many of the things attributed to aging can be a result of addiction. With sobriety, many or all of the problems go away.
