Dave Iverson was a 59-year-old KQED broadcast journalist and filmmaker when he decided to do something he'd never imagined. He moved back into his childhood home when his 95-year-old mom could no longer care for herself.

 

Dave's new memoir, Winter Stars: An Elderly Mother, An Aging Son and Life's Final Journey, is the story of their 10-year caregiving odyssey, lasting until his mom's passing at the age of 105.

In a live interview with NPR Senior Editor and Correspondent Ron Elving, Dave will talk about his poignant and pathbreaking new book and our growing eldercare crisis.

 

Join us for an intimate, unvarnished conversation about the challenges, choices and unexpected rewards of caring for someone during life's final journey.
