Drawing from personal experience and more than four decades in a career in aging services, he covers the critical topics related to aging such as intimacy, retirement, and senior communities, among others.Hallowed Ground is a story collection of people who have a legacy of lessons to teach us so we -- and our loved ones -- can live the best of our last days.
