The Silent Cry


This is a re-write of a book I published after my parents died, in 1999 and 2000 respectively. It is a gripping story of how the "system" does not work in the best interest of those who cannot make decisions for themselves. It is a "must read" for those with aging parents in particular ... a poignant true-life drama of the pitfalls my parents and I fell into.
