Description

---

In the Midst of Life is a moving, evocatively described narrative of the patients and caregivers Charles Rose encountered as a hospice volunteer. It is also a perceptive account of his own journey into the world of the dying--a journey that in the end brings him, and us, more deeply and compassionately into the transitory world of our own lives.
