Grandparents are usually the only people that are capable of picking up the pieces and putting them back together when all hope is lost in any family.

They have issues within their own family that causes them to sometimes separate for a season. They disagree and agree to disagree. It is a battle when a family of different personalities and opinions gather together in one room. The issues of respect, morals and values surface too.

Book Description

State of Health takes readers inside one of the most controversial regimes of the twenty-first century—Venezuela under Hugo Chávez—for a revealing description of how people’s lives changed for the better as the state began reorganizing society. With lively and accessible storytelling, Amy Cooper chronicles the pleasure people experienced accessing government health care and improving their quality of life. From personalized doctor’s visits to therapeutic dance classes, new health care programs provided more than medical services. State of Health offers a unique perspective on the significance of the Bolivarian Revolution for ordinary people, demonstrating how the transformed health system succeeded in exciting people and recognizing historically marginalized Venezuelans as bodies who mattered.
