No training. No warning. Just dialysis, hospitals, and the silent expectation of hospital staff that she'll hold it all together. As the relationship unravels, Karlee doesn't leave the caring behind-instead, she steps deeper into the world of professional disability support, while quietly unravelling herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold with gritty honesty, cheeky humour, and the straight-talking voice of a Regional Victorian country girl who's seen too much too young, The Art of Giving pulls back the curtain on the personal journey of a carer - the often invisible lifeblood of the healthcare system.

It's about what happens when giving becomes a survival strategy and the not-so-silent cost when we give too much for too long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBold, funny and deeply human, this is a book every overgiver needs to read.
