In this heart-breaking, inspirational memoir, Rochelle nurses her
beloved mother through a terminal brain tumour. With sensitivity and
enormous emotional depth, Handle with Care provides a window into the
life of a young carer. When her mum falls seriously ill, 25-year-old
Rochelle decides to give up her new job and move home to become her
mother's full-time carer and look after her sisters. After the initial
diagnosis of a stroke gives way to one of terminal cancer, Rochelle
cares for her mother through her illness - helping her as the illness
makes everyday life increasingly difficult - and remaining by her side
when she passes away. And then, while still grieving, Rochelle must find
her way back into the world again.
