The Purple Jeep

About the Book

The Purple Jeep is a riveting, heartwarming story of a couple embroiled in the everyday ups and downs of life, when one partner is struck down with not one but two catastrophic illnesses.

The author, Linda Huffstetler-Dearing, brings twenty-two years of counseling experience to this insightful, poignant telling of her husband's illness, their hospice experience, and his death at home.

The Purple Jeep is for every caregiver, family member, and friend of anyone diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The author writes: "I hope our story can be helpful in opening you more to your own experience, so that you can be more emotionally and physically present for yourself and your loved one. Don't be afraid to reach out. You can make a difference!"
