I’m fairly new to the Chicken Soup series, but this particular volume is outstanding. Almost every story is meaningful and touching. After spending a few months quite ill, I was interested in the caregiver’s side of the story. Yet, this book relates to more than caregivers and those needing care- it can relate to all of us because it shows the sensitivity and caring of human beings. The GIVING portrayed in this book may inspire many to become greater than they are.
Give yourself a treat and read it!

Like all the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, this book gives the reader an option to read one story in a short time, or several if you have longer. They are great for people in a hurry who savor little bits of encouragement with a quick read of various stories. Good gift for a caregiver.

“The word ‘caregiver’ encompasses a great deal: choices, responsibilities, emotions and even hidden joys. Chicken Soup for the Caregiver”s Soul embraces all of these, leaving you with the greatest emotion of all, laughter through tears,” notes Lisa Copen of Rest Ministries. “You”ll find yourself giggling while choking back a sob, realizing that through any circumstance you can still find hope. A perfect gift for a friend or yourself.”

I received my copy of the Chicken Soup for the Caregiver’s Soul as one of the book’s contributors, and read it cover to cover. LeAnn, Jack and Mark have really captured the heart and soul of the caregiving experience with this finely edited book. As founder of Today’s Caregiver magazine and caregiver.com (as well as a family caregiver), I have been blessed to read many books and articles about caregiving over the past nine years, and I find this to be extremely inspirational, touching and true. I would recommend it not only to caregivers but also to all of their friends and family members. I am proud to be associated with this book.
