    I sent an offer to the seller for this item that was accepted. After asking about delivery my order was abruptly cancelled no explanation. Several messages went unanswered. Seller advised she was out of town last minute and would return in a week. I said I would wait and the seller said message in a week with my offer. I messaged and got one reply saying send your offer! The item was not relisted. The seller has now ghosted me. I'm requesting the seller be removed from ebay!

    A bit more worn looking than expected. Incredibly careful packaging! Unfortunately, both covers arrived broken thru no fault of seller but apparent abuse by USPS of the package.

    Wonderful Book!

    I'm a caregiver and found this book at a client's home. It is outstanding! The author writes from her personal experience of having a husband with developing Alzheimer's and raising four children. The book is rich with insights and examples for the caregiver. I have given this book to family members of Alzheimer's client's I have. LOVE THIS BOOK!
