When Heads and Hearts Collide

When Arline Chandler retired as a teacher, she could not wait to begin a new career as a writer. But her writing was forced onto the back burner for the next ten years as she devoted much of her time and most of her psychic energy to her parents who were stubbornly unwilling to accept the reality of their aging and illnesses.

In her personal story, When Heads and Hearts Collide, Chandler relates with disarming objectivity how her faith, family, friends, and the medical profession helped--and occasionally hindered--her through difficult days with her demanding parents as their lives ebbed away. All of us who take on the role of caregiver will see something of ourselves in this book - and gain comfort as well as insights when guilt, anger, and frustration mingle with deep love and compassion.
