This book developed from author Anne McCafferty’s journaling on her pastoral visits at the end of the day. She was inspired by the beauty and faith of so many and astonished by God’s grace in their lives. The book honors the lives of ordinary people—residents and staff in a county nursing home. She records the beauty of each individual person, the uniqueness of each life experience, and the invaluable worth of each person’s dignity. Her encounters provide glimpses of life in a nursing home where the staff work closely to create an atmosphere of compassionate care.
