The book is written in two parts:

Part I is about the challenges and experiences faced by the author in looking after her centenarian mother-in-law in the last few years of her life and the very special bond that was formed. Believing how her experience as a caregiver had changed her profoundly for the better, she decided to share the story of this unique and special period in her life. It details the difficulties, the surprises and yes, the joys of caring for a loved one at home. It is a hard job but also an uplifting job when done with empathy and patience.

The author then invited other caregivers to tell the tale of their own labour of love.

Part II is a collection of loving stories by nine other caregivers whose lives were also touched and makes the book a fascinating read. The book fills one with emotions of joy, affection, and laughter that can only be found when devotion for each other is shared. At times of sorrow and loss, it shares the cherished memories that offer us light and hope.
