My Old Friends

My Old Friends captures, with humor and unvarnished honesty, the moments the author experienced between the ages of 22 and 25, when she worked as a home care aide. She invites us into the lives of those we rarely encounter anymore: the elderly. Her sketches strive to convey the memories, details, and emotions as Margot experienced them. This story offers a glimpse into the unique work of caregiving and the often unexpected bonds that form between a young woman and her older clients.
