This is an informative, thought provoking, book that inspires us to do better for the elderly, frail, population. After all, we are all headed in the same direction in our lives. Very well written, a book everyone should read. 10 stars!

I really liked this book. I learned a lot about sailing and the dangers of being on the water along with the maritime laws. This true story was riveting, and had profound sadness as well. I highly recommend this one.

I loved this book and couldn't put it down. Amazing story of what she gave up for many years in order to care for and love Wesley. If you love animals like me, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. It's an easy read, well written.
