Great review. Thank you. It is good that the selfless work of caregivers is highlighted. Hopefully, this will help them to be more appreciated and better paid. I enjoyed the sample, so I think I'll be adding this book to my reading list.

Lovely review. I agree that care workers are true unsung heroes. I love that the story is non fiction because then it will enable care workers to be much more appreciated.

This sounds like such an interesting book. I work as a care worker taking care of the elderly. So I can definitely relate to this book. It really does take dedication and most people in this field are underpaid. I'm glad the author focuses on the positives and the sweet moments spent with clients, but also shows some of the negatives. Being a care worker can be very rewarding and also very challenging. Thanks for your excellent review.

These workers are really true unsung heroes. The love and passion to work supersede all earthly gains. They're really superheroes. Thanks for the review.

I feel for "care workers "; after giving all they have to make things happen and put things right they still get underpaid. Thanks to the author of this great book 5stars for you

What draws me to this story is the fact that the author landed in his career as a careworker by experiencing health-related issues. His experience proves that a silver lining can emanate from any situation.

This is something that is A-MUST-READ to all health workers. I have a lot of friends work abroad as a health worker or nurse and I definitely share this book to them. I think it's a great way to better understand the sacrifices, patience and challenges of caregivers. Great job BOTD!

Sounds like an entertaining and humorous book of one man’s experience in the care industry. My mum worked in aged care for many years and had more than a few funny stories to tell about her own experiences. Thanks for your informative review!

It takes courage and strength to be a care worker. I grew up knowing my aunt to be one. The courage to keep doing the good work even when it is very clear the society thinks little of them and the strength to keep their own emotions in check in order to put a smile on other people's face are important virtues a care worker possesses. Why then should we not celebrate this about them? This review has awaken in me the desire to read this book.
