Letters from Madelyn,Chronicles of a Caregiver
Unflinching honest and uproariously funny letters written by Madelyn Kubin, a Kansas farm wife, who cared for her husband after he suffered a debilitating stroke.
James A Cox, Editor-in-Chief of Midwest Book Review wrote:
“Letters from Madelyn is a true story of a Kansas farm woman who, despite her own failing health, provided care for her husband after his debilitating stroke. Her story is told through letters to her daughter, and includes anecdotes about the difficulty of obtaining proper health care, the long-term realities of illness and aging, and the transcendent powers of faith, humor, and family. Details about surviving the day-to-day labors of physical caregiving as well as a big picture about what truly matters in life make Letters from Madelyn an invaluable read, cover to cover, especially for anyone coping with a loved one’s slow deterioration.”
“When I finished reading Letters from Madelyn I sniffled and blew my nose knowing I had just read a book that I would share with many friends. What an amazing, deep, funny and brilliant woman Madelyn was. I loved the book, I can’t tell you how very much. Wow! Thank you for sharing it.

“My sister and I read the book at the same time. We would call each other to talk about the things Madelyn said and we’d laugh ourselves silly. What a treasure! Thank you for publishing her letters.”

“Some of what I received was affirmation of my experience as a caregiver and permission to be human. It is a comfort knowing I was not alone nor so different from others who are caring for a family member with dementia.”
