Book Description
At age 78, looking back on 47 years of marriage, many of them good, widow Rachel Appelbaum--after starting two little fires, tripping and falling a time or two and wisely refusing to take suspect medication--finds herself battling Sidney and Pearl, her two ungrateful children, in Manhattan Family Court. But when Sid and Pearl prevail and set plans to ship her to an old folks' home in Florida, Rachel vows to ignore both the law and her kids. After pleas for help to a former flame and her family attorney prove unproductive, Rachel hides in the nearby vacant home of her best friend. But, betrayed by modern technology, Pearl finds her, nabs her and hauls her down south.Once reluctantly settled into her new situation--an institution on an island in a bay filled with rednecks, bland food and board games--Rachel refuses to follow the rules and schemes to escape and return to New York.Despite Rachel's best efforts, relationships happen. She meets sweet old Bob Kelly, a blinded war veteran who has lived his whole life in institutions, Nurse Fulfer (a man!), who is truly concerned about Rachel's well-being, and Lurlene Greene, a gorgeous, young and needy gal with an evangelist's soul and mysterious past who first captures Rachel's curiosity and eventually steals her heart.So, after Rachel, a Jew, somehow survives Christmas in Florida, she briefly considers forgiving her kids and adjusting to life in the south. But her meds go awry again and Rachel finds herself in the grasp of airport security at Tampa International after trying to board a flight to LaGuardia with no luggage, a big wad of cash and an expired Macy's card for ID.Rachel's old flame steps in at the end, but will she allow him to save her?

Women of Color in a World Apart
Author: Anne K. Vittoria
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000206505
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Care, whether viewed as acts of civility, acts of compassion and skill, or acts of close personal interaction, is the fundamental process by which society perpetuates and recreates itself. Despite social need and the undeniable benefit of occupations such as Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), these workers—mostly female and disproportionally from minority groups—face very low wages, a notable lack of respect, and little public recognition of their abilities. The United States is experiencing what experts call a crisis of care with a current and growing shortage of nurses and CNAs. In U.S. Nursing Centers, the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants, the largest group of employees who operate on the front line of health care, is expected to grow exponentially due to dramatic increases in population aging. Over the course of a year and a half, Anne K. Vittoria examined the meaning and social construction of care work on an Alzheimer’s Pavilion located in a geriatric facility in the mid-western United States. Through in-depth ethnographic research focused on the local culture and logic of care, Vittoria documents that, when given autonomy in their daily work in an institution, CNAs and the LPN Charge Nurse constructed a systematic body of knowledge and created a language of care—forging a "different" model of personal care in resistance to the medical model of care. This book challenges the assumptions of the outside world that low-level workers are alienated from their work and have minimal skills. Paradoxically, the Pavilion is both a refuge and a site of struggle for the CNAs; they desire to create a world that is the antithesis of the world in which they live on the outside. Women of Color in a World Apart provides a public forum for the voices of women of color, the development of concepts, and a practical as well as theoretical language of care that could be transformational in connecting the meanings of care with the organization of care.
