All the Cares in the World
A daughter’s initiation into caregiving
by Cindi Maciolek
What happens when the most stubborn woman in Detroit finally says yes?
For years, Cindi Maciolek asked her mother, Mary, to move in with her in Las Vegas. Mary kept saying no until one day, she said yes! And life was never quite the same again.
All the Cares in the World is the funny yet heartbreaking account of seven years spent caring for a woman who never wasted a minute, never missed the chance to eat dessert, and fought against ever taking naps.
Written as a collection of short essays, this caregiver memoir moves from the Polish immigrant roots of a Detroit family, through the romance of Mary and her husband, James, to the relentless comedy and quiet heartbreak of caregiving in Las Vegas.
It’s a book about showing up everyday for someone who depends on you, and about what remains when they’re gone.
Caring for a loved one is nothing to laugh about. And, sometimes, it’s the funniest thing you’ve ever read.
All the Cares in the World memoir is available for purchase from Amazon in ebook and paperback. Ebook is also available at most other places for purchase, including Apple Books and Barnes and Noble. More formats and wider paperback distribution are upcoming.
