Description:
The Ambivalent Daughter: Memoir of a Conflicted Caregiver, is the compelling story of a mother and daughter struggling to adjust after the mother has a severe stroke. Suddenly Bethanie is faced with the need to assume responsibility for the care of her octogenarian mother who has become completely disabled. The two strong, independent women have never gotten along which complicates matters. Gertrude needs total care and moves to a nursing home near her daughter. Bethanie is a professor who is dedicated to her career and her husband. Gertrude is angry and despondent about how her life has turned out. She finds she has lost all her independence in the residential setting where everything is lockstep. Bethanie visits her mother daily to keep her spirits up and oversee her care. She observes nursing home practices that do not serve the best interests of her mother and becomes a fervent advocate for changes in the care her mother receives. She insists that her mother's emotional needs be addressed and as well as her medical ones and that more individualization of care be implemented. Through her reflections on the past, the reader gains insight into the reasons for her ambivalence. She feels increasingly torn between the needs of her mother, her husband, and her career and begins to show signs of stress and depression. Her only sibling lives in Canada, and she feels frustrated that she cannot be more involved in her mother's care causing dissension between the sisters. Bethanie's husband is supportive, but Bethanie feels guilty about how much time has been taken from their relationship by her mother's needs. The action takes place over one y

A royal pain to install
The width of this item is such that it CANNOT be attached to the wall studs. That is unsafe for something that is intended to hold heavy items like liquor bottles. THEN the anchors that come with it are flimsy so we used a heavier different style anchor (threaded). That said, I like the way it looks, and the light effects.

New Bourbon Shelf
I just got done putting it together and hanging it on my wall. It took approximately 35 minutes to put together and another 15 minutes to hang up. I had to use my own larger wall anchors and screws. I tried the ones that came with it but they didn’t do the job. I am happy with it other than that. Good value and quality materials. As you can see from the picture it holds several bottles and room for more if I want. I think the LED lights look great as well.

The Last Cutting Board You’ll Ever Need – Bamboo Perfection
Color: Glue-Free Surface - Round, Set name: Set of 3 (S, M, XL)
I’ve gone through plastic, cheap wood, and even a couple of “premium” boards that warped or cracked within months. These bamboo cutting boards are in a league of their own. From the moment I unpacked them, the quality was obvious — smooth, dense, and beautifully finished with a warm, natural grain that looks gorgeous on the counter. Performance is flawless: Knife-friendly – No deep gouges, even after heavy chopping. My blades stay sharper longer. Gentle on hands – Lightweight but sturdy; easy to maneuver, yet doesn’t slide around. Zero warping – I hand-wash and air-dry, and they still look great after daily use. Juice groove actually works – Catches liquids without overflow (perfect for carving chicken or juicy fruits). Bonus: They’re sustainable, eco-friendly, and naturally antibacterial — peace of mind when prepping family meals. I bought the 3-piece set (small, medium, large), and it covers everything from quick garlic mincing to full meal prep. No odor retention, easy to clean with soap and water, and they double as stylish serving trays for charcuterie night. If you cook even semi-regularly, treat yourself to these. Durable, beautiful, and built to last a lifetime. Worth every penny — and then some!

Excellent Buy
Color: Glue-Free Surface - Round, Set name: Set of 3 (S, M, XL)
We are in an ongoing process to reduce our dependence on plastics. These bamboo cutting boards are stunning, very well made, and easy to care for. I do recommend a wax to keep the surface shiny. Delighted with this purchase!
