Love, Resilience, and the Unseen Trials of Caregiving in My Father's Final Years
When Kate Graff Miller's 95-year-old father whispered, "It's time, Kate," she thought she was preparing to say goodbye. Instead, it was the beginning of an extraordinary five-year journey of love, endurance, and transformation.
In this beautifully written memoir, Kate shares the humor, heartbreak, and humanity of caring for her father, a man of remarkable intellect and unbending will, through the twilight of his life. From hospital rooms and late-night vigils to tender moments of laughter and reflection, A Daughter's Story illuminates the unspoken trials and unexpected gifts of caregiving.
Poignant, witty, and deeply relatable, this book is both a love letter to a father and an honest testament to the emotional complexity of aging, family, and letting go.
A powerful story for anyone who has ever cared for a loved one-or loved someone enough to stay.
