Letters from Madelyn, Chronicles of a Caregiver is a true story, as told through the letters of a Kansas farm woman who overpowers her own failing health with faith, humor, and sheer determination in order to care for her husband after he suffers a debilitating stroke. Madelyn's letters to her daughter deal with the grim reality of aging, illness, and long-term caregiving, and yet they are tender, gritty, and uproariously funny. She questions the Bible, challenges convention, and rails against the manufacturers of adult diapers. Five years after Quentin's stroke, she handles his reawakening sexual desire with grace and humor. Letters from Madelyn proves that a person can grow personally and spiritually under the worst of circumstances ­ even when a loved one's life is not ending easily.
