Homeward Bound

Modern Families, Elder Care, and Loss

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Homeward Bound draws on qualitative interviews with family caregivers to explore how the legal frameworks that define the elder care, burial, and wealth transfer process are understood, accessed, ignored, or fall short. It pays close attention to the ways a family's internal norms and structure define these experiences and their relationship to the law.
