Also available in a large print edition. What happens when a woman who did everything her own way finally says yes to moving in with her daughter in Las Vegas? All the Cares in the World is the funny, heartbreaking, and completely true account of nearly seven years Cindi Maciolek spent as full-time caregiver to her mother, Mary. Mary was four feet eleven inches tall, had opinions about absolutely everything, and lived to one hundred years old. Written as a collection of short essays organized into six sections, this memoir begins with the Polish immigrant roots of a Detroit family and the unlikely church-social romance between Mary and her husband, James. It follows their sixty-six-year marriage, their six children, and the quiet strength of a woman who worked a factory assembly line for twenty-five years while raising a family on very little money and a great deal of determination. All the Cares in the World is a book about caregiving, yes. But more than that, it's a book about a daughter who chose to see her mother clearly, laugh with her often, and love her all the way to the end. Caring for a loved one is nothing to laugh about. And sometimes it's the funniest thing you've ever read.
