Before I Lose My Own Mind: Navigating Life as a Dementia Caregiver
"Both a practical guide and a deeply personal memoir from a psychologist, neuroscientist, and end-of-life doula, Before I Lose My Own Mind helps dementia caregivers find ways to support their loved ones—while centering their own well-being. When Dr. Beverly E. Thorn became a caregiver for her husband, Walt, she joined a massive army. Worldwide, unpaid dementia caregiving requires the equivalent of forty million full-time workers, and that number will only grow. But navigating dementia caregiving can feel like trying to climb a mountain in the dark—and few resources exist to support caregivers in finding their way. In Before I Lose My Own Mind, Thorn—a psychologist, neuroscientist, and end-of-life doula—provides an honest vision of caregiving that is tender, openhearted, and genuinely useful. Filled with resources and insights on financial planning, advance care directives, clinical trials, support groups, death with dignity, grief, recovery, and more, this book is a roadmap for all caregivers, whether they're family or friends, spouses or children, professionals or novices. For those coping with the grief, exhaustion, and loneliness of a challenge they never expected, help is out there. Surviving dementia caregiving is a team effort. Consider this book a part of your support crew."

"In A Motor Flight through France, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Edith Wharton invites readers on an extraordinary journey through the French countryside at the dawn of the motor age. Based on her 1906 road trip—an ambitious endeavor at a time when automobiles were still a novelty—Wharton’s account captures the thrill of early travel by car and the unparalleled freedom it offered to the adventurous traveler. Accompanied by her husband Teddy and a small group of companions, Wharton set off in a custom-built 1904 Panhard, one of the most advanced motorcars of its time. With a driver at the wheel, she was free to focus on the pleasures of the journey: the texture of the landscapes, the character of remote towns, and above all, the magnificence of French architecture. Her detailed observations of Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance churches and cathedrals form the heart of the book. From Chartres to Burgundy, from Normandy to Provence, Wharton’s trained eye captures the spirit and splendor of centuries-old structures that might otherwise be overlooked in modern travel. Written in her trademark elegant prose, the narrative reflects not just Wharton’s appreciation for France’s aesthetic heritage but also her incisive cultural commentary. She laments the encroachment of modernity even as she embraces the automobile’s power to uncover hidden corners of the French countryside. Her reflections remain as engaging today as they were over a century ago—equal parts insightful, witty, and wistful. This edition features an introduction by Lavinia Spalding, acclaimed travel writer and editor of the Best Women’s Travel Writing series. Spalding places Wharton’s journey in historical context and underscores its significance as one of the earliest examples of female-authored road literature. A Motor Flight through France is more than a travelogue—it’s a testament to curiosity, elegance, and the enduring romance of the road."

In Shepherd's Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year.

"Romance and the French Revolution! Politics and love! Scaramouche, published in 1921, explores age-old tensions that continue into the present. “He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad …” So begins this historical tale of romantic adventure. Andre-Louis Moreau is an orphan and cousin of the beloved Aline. He is raised by his godfather, the Lord of Gavrillac, and matures into an educated lawyer—while Aline sets her mind on marrying the rich but dishonorable Marquis de la Tour d’Azyr.

He joins a troupe of traveling actors and begins playing ‘Scaramouche,’ the buffoon.
