"This collection addresses an area virtually ignored by current policy and programs and fills a vacuum in practitioner-oriented and academically oriented literature on families and caregiving." -- Choice
"A valuable text for anyone interested in learning more about skip-generation parenting." -- Social Work Today
Review
"By bringing together multiple perspectives on the needs and strengths of older people caring for HIV orphans, Joslin has made an important contribution to improved practice and policy." -- Nicholas Freudenberg, professor and director, Urban Public Health, Hunter College, City University of New York
"This profoundly moving and educational book shines a spotlight on a critical but largely forgotten part of the AIDS tragedy. Joslin's book is a must read for practitioners, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding family caregiving, and the unique aspects of such caregiving in the wake of AIDS." -- Meredith Minkler, University of California, Berkeley
