On June 15, 2012, what great pleasure it was for me to meet for the first time in person —Rawle Andrews, Jr., Esq., Regional Vice President, AARP. In 2011, Mr. Andrews endorsed my book which became the number one bestselling book Why Wait? The Baby Boomer’s Guide to Preparing, Emotionally, Financially & Legally for a Parent’s Death, which is a guide for family caregivers and aging parents. We discussed donating the proceeds of Why Wait? to the AARP Hunger – Hungry Seniors in America.
“Why Wait? Is a timely, thought provoking page-turner that should be considered a desk reference for caregivers and those who would be caregivers of all ages. Thank you, Carolyn Brent!”
