Count on Me - a novel about love and money colliding
|
Count on Me exposes how a family can fracture when aging parents grow frail and debts from the past resurface.
Filled with hope and humour amid the realities of elder abuse, this is a story about how we come to feel entitled to someone else’s money, what it takes to break cycles across generations, and how human relationships can rise above the transactional. “Nuanced, intelligent, and propulsively readable” -- Susan Olding, author of Big Reader “ A paean to sandwich-generation parents everywhere striving to end cycles of intergenerational trauma.” -- Farzana Doctor, author of The Beauty of Us and Seven Click on Media for interviews and appearances |

“Love is a form of paying attention,” she astutely observes in the final chapter. If this is true, then there’s no lack of it in Cavlovic’s heartfelt, often humorous novel. Count on Me is a close, compassionate study of one courageous woman’s determination to review, and rise above, her conditioning. Pulsating with thoughtful insights, it invites readers to consider how ending negative generational patterns within families might impact our world."
