Detour - Paperback

by Tawny H. Swain Castle (Author)

Some detours from life's path can take you to a place that can shake your very core. Take a detour with Tawny Swain Castle to a place that surprised and challenged her as much as it will astonish you in this moving book. As if losing her home, beloved dogs, and the ability to work in a field for which she was so passionate weren't enough, Tawny also lost her ability to walk and do even the very basic day to day tasks. Swain Castle shares her detour into illness, homelessness, living next door to her clients, and loss of physical ability leading her to a nursing home. This heartfelt story is funny, uplifting and full of insight that will shift your own perspective of loss, life's circumstances, resilience and change in an honest way that will perhaps cause you to reevaluate the detours on your own journey.
