BARBARA DRAKE-VERA ON CLIMATE CHANGE & CAREGIVING – MEMOIR

As a child, BARBARA DRAKE-VERA loved writing almost as much as she adored her father. But her successes sparked his rage, so for years, she silenced her voice. She was 49, a journalist and married, when her father was diagnosed with advancing Alzheimer’s. Taking him into her home, she began a process of self-discovery that uncovered a path toward personal and family healing. Melted Away: A Memoir of Climate Change and Caregiving in Peru is the story of how a writer at midlife reclaimed her agency, and a plea to care for the planet.
