Rent The Stuff of Life: A Daughter's Memoir

Synopsis

When Karen Karbo's father contracts lung cancer, she spends as much time as she can at his mobile home in Nevada caring for him, leaving her family in Oregon. Her description of this painful period is both poignant and humorous, as she admits to her distrust of the medical profession and her own inadequacies as a nurse, and tries to keep her own complicated family back home on an even keel. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.
