How Not To Tear Your Family Apart

How Not To Tear Your Family Apart

"Carroll truly hits the mark by first identifying an issue virtually all of us will have to deal with, and then using practical, sensible, and insightful ways to approach this delicate balancing act! Kudos to her and her willingness to provide a much needed reality check." —Peter Gelbwaks CLTC Chairman Emeritus - The National LTC Network, Past Chairman - The National Alliance of Insurance Agencies

Experience is an excellent teacher—but it can be a harsh master. We are living longer, and aging takes its toll on our ability to remain totally independent. No matter how you define "family," you will find yourself in the role of caregiver, caring for a caregiver, or being cared for by a caregiver. Life doesn't stop while you're caught up in caring and juggling your own life. With no real training for this multi-faceted, multi-generational role, you must find a path that doesn't destroy relationships or create financial havoc. 

Carroll S. Golden's three simple steps kickstart critical conversations. They offer a path of discovery. Each step provides an easy-to-use format to speed your progress. Lists, links, references, and an abundance of information guide you along. The result is an actionable, realistic plan so you don't tear your family and relationships apart. Uncover a financially stable plan for you, your family, and the people you love. Moving through the steps is inclusive, not exclusive, minimizing family discord and confusion. In the end, you have a plan for someone you love, a support system in place, a practical financial approach and something to hope for... harmony.

The Promise in Apt. 2A

The Promise in Apartment 2A is the personal testimony of Daisy Pemberton, detailing her journey from unbeliever to believer through Gods grace and mercy. It chronicles how she stayed in abusive relationships and how years of rejection, bitterness, pornography, sexual immorality, betrayal, adultery, domestic violence, mental abuse, unforgiveness, and anger made a mess of her life. She describes how anger was extremely prevalent in her life and how parent alienation, manipulation, and vindictive behavior can tear a family apart. Years of secrets, lies, deceit, and the final decision to give it all up and muster the courage to decide that enough was enough was the beginning of healing in her life. Her journey to hope and healing, filled with biblical Scriptures and prayer, helped her overcome the trials and tribulations she faced. She reveals that the promise was always in apartment 2A, how this promise truly impacted her life, and how it took her to a place of healing.

Shortest Way Home: One Mayor's Challenge and a Model for America's Future

Featuring a new introduction and a “Back Home” afterword, Shortest Way Home is Pete Buttigieg’s inspirational story that challenges our perception of the typical American politician. The meteoric rise of the mayor of a small Midwest city, who defied every pundit’s odds with his electrifying run for the presidency, created one of the most surprising candidacies in recent American history. The fact that his New York Times best-selling memoir, Shortest Way Home, didn’t read like your typical campaign book only added to “Mayor Pete’s” transcendent appeal. Readers everywhere, old and young, came to appreciate the “stirring, honest, and often beautiful” (Jill Lepore, New Yorker) personal stories and gripping mayoral tales, which provided, in lyrical prose, the political and philosophical foundations of his historic campaign. Now featuring a new introduction and a “Back Home” afterword, in which Buttigieg movingly returns with the reader to his roots in his hometown city of South Bend, Indiana, as well as a transcript of the eulogy for his father, Joseph Buttigieg, Shortest Way Home, already considered a classic of the political memoir form, provides us with a beacon of hope at a time of social despair and political crisis.
