These books are worth gifting
The pressure is on as we get closer to the holidays. How about gifting a truly useful book for the entire family? If you have ever wondered what will happen if your parent can no longer take care of themselves, or felt overwhelmed at the idea of giving up your own life to fill the role of caregiver, then The Elder Care Playbook is the book to buy!
Pair it with one or two of my other book recommendations and you are all set for the holidays.
A Gentleman in Moscow
by Amor Towles
Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates to the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
Where the Crawdads Sing
by Delia Owens
Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.
In True Blood
by Truman Capote
In one of the first non-fiction novels ever written, Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, generating both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence.
