The Collector on My Block!

During a snowstorm, a neighbor notices water coming out from under the front door of an elderly neighbor's house. She's in a nursing home under care for her cancer and is not very mobile. It's a firsthand account of what happens next. What begins as a simple act of checking on a sick neighbor's house quickly evolves into a journey involving hidden hoarding, unexpected treasures and the complicated ways people react when hardship reveals who they really are. The Collector on My Block delivers a real-life narrative that unfolds with a raw honesty that many memoirs attempt but rarely achieve. Told with honesty and detail, this memoir walks the reader through the emotional and physical challenges of navigating a hoarding disorder, property damage cleanup, legal concerns and end of life decisions for an elderly woman who can no longer protect herself. The mystery, compassion and emotion are authentic and mindboggling. This kind of truth cannot be imitated. Featuring real photographs and firsthand accounts, this book offers an unfiltered look at what it truly means to help someone in need when walking away would be easier. It's a once in a lifetime journey through life's moments that will continue with you long after you put the book down!
