The Long Trip to Arlington

The Long Trip to Arlington
By Kathryn Jeffers
This is a great audio book ideal for seniors their families and staff. It is a story of a family caring for their Father and their journey of investigation dysfunction understanding and healing. You will find many intriguing stories of: World War II Pearl Harbor the tenacity of getting a Silver Metal awarded to their Father; but most importantly is this is a story of love and healing through the Caregiving process. I highly recommend this book. After reading this book you will not view Caregiving or war the same.
This book is a great example of the importance of legacy stories. Lori La Bey
