That Wasn't a White Hair, Was It?

We’re so afraid of aging that we begin to devalue ourselves and others with each passing year. The phrase “30 years old” incites panic. Seniors live in separate communities and barely interact with young people, while middle-aged people spend millions each year on anti-aging products.

But what if we have it all wrong? Isabel Tom grew up living with grandparents and has spent over a decade of her career serving older adults.

"The Value of Wrinkles is an encouraging look at how we can honor and respect those who are in the final thrid of their lives. This isn't a boring how-to book, but rather a story of how the elderly can enrich our lives."

WARNING:

This book is not a manual containing the intricate details of senior care. Rather, this is a book aimed at improving our attitudes and our heart toward our elders. You see, before we look into the type of care an elder needs, we first need to assess whether we have the right attitude and heart to give it. For good care is only good when it is given with love. ... So let's get to it.
