Lynda James-Gilboe is a business consultant and writer, with decades of executive experience at companies serving libraries and librarians. She hosts a blog at AdaptLeadSucceed.com covering a variety of leadership topics, with an emphasis on pragmatism, common sense, listening to others, and respect. But it was her role as a daughter of a mom facing her final life journey that prompted her to write this book. That experience tested her ability to adapt to an everchanging landscape of emotions, health conditions, financial decisions, and spiritual questions and inspired her to share her story with others.
