 faith Biulder quick read
By C. Shepard
I had the great pleasure to read this book before publication, and in the house that it took place. I found it to be a great Faith builder book, I would recommend it to any one even if you don’t plan on being a care taker any time soon. I usually have a hard time getting in to books allowing my self to sit down and just read I found this book to be liberating in that sense the short separate stories kept me interested from beginning to end. It was cool to see how a man with Alzheimer’s can still shine like a star in the universe with God’s glory and how God helped him and his caretaker out in their times of need. Truly a great book dealing with an amazing man how was completely submerged in God.

Lemonade
By S. Hoiland
The Hedge People gave me valuable insights and a new compassion for those with dementia and their caregivers. I appreciated Louise Carey’s ability to find humor in her circumstances, but also the spiritual lessons that were gleaned through daily frustrations. Many of the lessons can be applied to other challenges we all face in life. Caregivers will appreciate her honesty, uplifting faith, and practical advice. Some would consider being an Alzheimer’s caregiver to be a “sour” experience, but Louise has made wonderful lemonade.

LAST DAYS, GAIN IN LOSS
By Evelyn Peyton
I BELIEVE HUMOR IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY WHEN ONE IS CARING FOR THEIR ELDERLY LOVED ONES. RESPECT FOR THAT LOVED ONE IS ALSO ESSENTIAL. LOUISE’S STORIES REFLECT BOTH THOSE QUALITIES SO BEAUTIFULLY. HEDGE PEOPLE MADE ME LAUGH, AND CRY, AND REMEMBER THE LAST DAYS SPENT WITH MY OWN MOM. LOUISE HAS A WAY OF BEING REAL, HONEST AND COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING AND LOSS. HER BOOK HONORS THE ELDERLY AND THEIR CAREGIVERS AND REMINDS ALL OF US THAT GOD IS RIGHT THERE WITH US, EXPOSING HIS MERCY AND GRACE IN SOME UNLIKELY CIRCUMSTANCES.
