But caregiving is deeper than what we do. It is more than a series of tasks. It is, first and foremost, a call to love. In How the Light Shines each chapter engages an issue raised by caregivers themselves and is filled with real-life stories that convey the realities of caregiving, as well as tips and advice, and spiritual insight and guidance.
