In his review editor Bill Poteat wrote "This book is aimed at anyone who is living in a nursing home, anyone who has a friend or family member living in a nursing home, and all of us who someday may find ourselves living in a nursing home. He claims that nursing homes can become a time of heroism, hope and humor, where living is something more than not dying. Too many people buy into the negative, gloomy picture of nursing home life. You'll laugh a little, cry some, and marvel at the courage of residents whose lives are confined. This book will be a source of blessing to many older people whose faces are indeed toward the evening sun."

"It's strange how things just happened. Richard Morgan gave me a copy of With Faces to the Evening Sun some time ago. It lay on my desk, unread, until one night on duty I began to read these wonderful stories, while the residents slept. It was a moment of serendipity. I saw that the people I care for were more than names on the door, or people needing medical help. I realized they were human beings with incredible life stories. We put a picture of each resident on the door of their room, when they were young, and a short biography of their lives. I can tell you - it made a difference to all the nurses assistants to read those life bios." June Monday, Charge Nurse |
