A Privileged Life by David Black Ph D
Delores Brisbon's memoir reveals a life that shattered all molds of tradition, tracing an unlikely career from a nurse trained in racially segregated Tuskegee, Alabama, to the Chief Operating Officer at a major university hospital and then business owner and community leader in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In A Privileged Life: Remembering My Journey, Ms. Brisbon explains how an inner strength born from her deep faith not only helped her to balance her career with raising her children and nurturing her marriage, but how it also guided her through her husband's long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. In describing how she acted as her husband's main caregiver for 17 years, Ms. Brisbon takes us on a journey that puts into perspective the day-to-day struggles of work and family, and shows us the value of adjusting to the unexpected challenges that life presents. In the narrative of this one remarkable woman, we will find a guidebook on rising above adversity, trusting in a higher power, and, perhaps most importantly, staying true to ourselves. Delores Brisbon has written a grace-filled account of God's providential guidance of her life's journey from a young African American girl growing up in the South to her role as the leading as Chief Operating Officer of the Hospital University of Pennsylvania. The story of her husband James's struggle with Alzheimer's disease breaks the reader's heart. I heartily recommend it. - Chris A.
