Why would a woman, at the height of her career- leave?
The workplace can serve as both a buffer zone and field of landmines for someone in a family caregiver's state of mind. In Run, Walk, Crawl- A Caregiver Caught Between Generations, Sarahbeth Persiani provides a deeply personal account of what it's like to live the pressure-cooker lifestyle of working full-time while caring for her family, an elderly parent, and least of all, herself.
Readers trek alongside Sarahbeth during her caregiving years, catching a glimpse into modern day issues of hoarding, opioid addiction, dementia, women's health, and sibling differences, all while navigating the healthcare system and todays multi-generational workforce.
By no means prescriptive, but with honesty, humility and a smattering of 1970's throwback references, this story offers relatable insights into one woman's transformation with lessons for us all.

Reviews
"In this book childhood memories combine with family histories to create a moving tapestry of a loving family fiercely dedicated to the well-being of a member, even when things are seemingly at their worst . . .
Readers navigating a similar "onslaught of family responsibility" may feel less alone after reading this book--and have a better understanding of what works and what doesn't. A brave, soul-searching first-hand account of the risks and rewards of caregiving."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"In Run, Walk, Crawl, Sarahbeth Persiani shares the 24/7 perspective on the days and nights of a daughter, mother, sister, wife and employee. The impact of Sarahbeth's personal caregiving experience on her career is as heart-breaking as her personal losses. Her memoir is a poignant reminder to everyone that our co-workers often show up to work weary from their other job--caring for a family member. You'll feel as if Sarahbeth is a close friend bearing her soul to you as you read her gripping and honest account. Highly recommended."
-- Denise M. Brown, founder of CareGiving.com
"A must read for any human resource professional--or any people manager for that matter--who seeks to understand the pressures on and perspective of the millions of working caregivers whose workdays stretch around the clock. Sarahbeth Persiani's personal story eloquently illustrates the non-stop pressures on working caregivers that can lead to collisions between work and life."
