Contrary to the common belief that caregiving is nothing more than a stressful situation to be endured, memoirs describe a life transforming experience-self-discovery, a reordering of one's priorities, and a changed view of the world. \u003ci\u003eThe Caregiver's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e offers insight and comfort to individuals caring for a loved one and is a valuable resource for all health care professionals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIdentifying common themes, Burack-Weiss describes how the illness career and social meaning of cancer, dementia, HIV\/AIDS, mental illness, and chemical dependence affect the caregiving experience. She applies the same method to an examination of family roles: parents caring for ailing children, couples and siblings caring for one another, and adult children caring for aging parents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJamaica Kincaid, Sue Miller, Paul Monette, Kenzaburo Oë, and Philip Roth are among the many authors who share their caregiving stories.
