520 8  Annotation Ann Burack-Weiss explores a rich variety of 
       published memoirs by authors who cared for ill or disabled
       family members. Contrary to the common belief that 
       caregiving is nothing more than a stressful situation to 
       be endured, memoirs describe a life transforming 
       experience-self-discovery, a reordering of one's 
       priorities, and a changed view of the world. The 
       Caregiver's Tale offers insight and comfort to individuals
       caring for a loved one and is a valuable resource for all 
       health care professionals. Identifying common themes, 
       Burack-Weiss describes how the illness career and social 
       meaning of cancer, dementia, HIV/AIDS, mental illness, and
       chemical dependence affect the caregiving experience. She 
       applies the same method to an examination of family roles:
       parents caring for ailing children, couples and siblings 
       caring for one another, and adult children caring for 
       aging parents. Jamaica Kincaid, Sue Miller, Paul Monette, 
       Kenzaburo O︠, and Philip Roth are among the many authors 
       who share their caregiving stories. Burack-Weiss provides 
       an annotated bibliography of the more than one hundred 
       memoirs and an accompanying chart to help readers locate 
       those of greatest interest to them.
