About the Book

Orphaned at 39 is a compelling, true-life story about an adult son – a Baby Boomer – who answers a familial call in order to take care of an elderly and ailing parent. In this case, his beloved father.

When the father is stricken with a debilitating illness, and his second wife looks to escape the responsibility for his care; a son, who never forgot about the profound nurturing he received from his dad while growing into adulthood, answers the call. Along the way, in terms of emotional and financial loss, the son pays a heavy price for his devotion.

Ultimately, Orphaned at 39 is a touching story about loyalty and dedication, by way of unconditional love. It is also a story about human sacrifice and resiliency of spirit. And, most importantly, it is a book about understanding that caring for an elderly parent is an opportunity for a debt to be repaid.
