I am grateful that the author wrote this book and that I had the opportunity to read it. Care Work is urgent, crucial, challenging, confronting, and so so needed. I was deeply personally affected by some of the chapters, feeling like personal experiences and feelings I've had were named in ways that I appreciate and will carry with me. I also feel like I've learned a lot, including about areas that I can do better, and will bring that learning into the work that I do -- I'm glad for those lessons, too. Highly, highly recommend.
