Description: Caring for Norah is a self-published book written to recount what one man, Daniel Heinrichs, learned as a caregiver to his wife, Norah, during the progression of her illness. The author is not a medical professional, so writes from personal experience and hopes that other caregivers can benefit from what he has learned. Distribution has been limited to Mr. Heinrichs's native Canada. Because of the tremendous positive response, he has decided to provide greater access by offering the book on the web.
