The Moon in the Water by Kathy J Phillips
This is a book for every Boomer trying to balance their spiritual ideals of the '60s with the wearing realities of middle age. The author enlists the practical inspiration of Water-Moon Kuan Yin, a Buddhist goddess associated with compassion, to aid in the mundane challenges of caring for her aging father - transferring his health insurance, struggling with a wheelchair van, managing adult diapers, or playing in the fictions of his dementia.
A welcome balm to those.. on their own healing journey of caring. --Paula Arai ""The Moon in the Water invites people in to the spiritual and practical dimensions of care-giving, especially to elderly parents.... This book is a welcome balm to those who seek sustenance on their own healing journey of caring."" --Paula Arai, author of Women Living Zen: Japanese Soto Buddhist Nuns
Kathy J. Phillips is Professor of English at the University of Hawai'i. Her most recent books are Manipulating Masculinity: War and Gender in Modern British and American Literature; This Isn't a Picture I'm Holding: Kuan Yin; and Virginia Woolf Against Empire.
