By Barbara H. Hance
 DMM
Barbara Hance wrote this book to share her feelings about the
experience of owning her own business and working with the elderly

despair, and to demonstrate how humor has a way of connecting
people. Through a special arrangement with her publisher we are able
to offer this lovely 193 page hardback book to members at a
discount.
AADMM Members: $13 each
Non-members: $16.95 each
When AADMM Board Member Fredi O’Hara reviewed this
book in 2005, she called it “a poignant journey thorough all life’s
unexpected . . . peppered with Barbara’s very humorous observations
and frustrations as she deals with her own aging process.” Each
chapter stands alone as she introduces the reader to the real
characters in her story and at chapter’s end there is a lesson to be
learned which she relates with humor and love. Ms. O’Hara recommends
that “reading it is a present you give yourself and you may want to
present it to someone as a warm act of sharing.”

act on her behalf. Now in its second edition, Getting It Together
has been reviewed in the New York Times and shared throughout the
country through her publisher Project Compassion. In her review for
