Book excerpt: "I never thought my mom would end up in a nursing home, and I certainly never expected to be working at one either. To spend time with her during the strictest visitation guidelines, I took a job as a nurse's aide during COVID-19. Follow my journey as I join one of the most vulnerable, least respected, and lowest paid professions. Why did the virus spread so easily among workers and residents? What mistakes and deficiencies were concealed by an industry that favors greed over care? Faced with inexperience, lack of training, and a dire staffing shortage, these are my stories of life and death in the days of COVOD-19. This work has been fictionized and is a loosely knitted tapestry of places and people I created to tell this story. Please enjoy the rambling disclaimer inside" -- back cover.
