Slightly Dented Halos is a creative nonfiction story about the author's real-life experiences after inviting elderly in-laws to move into her home. From comical anecdotes of combining two disparate household styles to the heartbreaking depiction of the father-in-law as his life ends, the author provides a panoramic look into her life.
The largest generation in history is entering the golden years, with adult children left to make decisions about the care of their elders. Slightly Dented Halos provides no instruction but rather a sense of togetherness and empathy for others facing the choices of nursing homes, elder care, hospice and end-of-life issues.
