    Micro-Computer Application Specialist • Author | CK Brashares, a Jackson, Michigan resident, draws from a rich life of 53 years of marriage, parenting two children, and cherishing five grandchildren. Beyond her role as a loving family member, she finds pleasure in sewing, embroidery, puzzles, and various crafts.

With the support of her siblings, they cared for their ailing mother. Her book serves as a beacon of information and solace for those who have been navigating similar situations, while also aiming to inspire readers with her heartfelt journey.
