Beyond the Words: Exploring the Edges of Language and Life is a debut collection of nonfiction short stories by Andrea Durbin. It offers poignant glimpses into the daily life of a speech-language pathologist working in a nursing home. Durbin explores the humanity in these often hidden and overlooked places through stories of residents living with conditions like aphasia, dysphagia, and dementia, as well as family members caring for their loved ones during this difficult phase of life. Written with insight and compassion, Beyond the Words takes us behind closed doors, into the patient's rooms, and into the heart of these human experiences.

Reviews for Beyond the Words: Exploring the Edges of Language and Life

"""A book for those who chose the field of caregiving and for those who suddenly find themselves in the role of caregiver. These stories take only a moment to read but stay in your heart and mind for much longer. Highly recommended for speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, and for all who care for others in the various stages of life and death."" -Andrea Atticks, M.A., CCC-SLP Division Director, Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, Loyola University Maryland"
