As the population ages the issues of the elderly become more widespread and crucial. Rescuing Ruby is a factual detailed story of a daughter’s struggle with guardianship abuse. This is the true account of the events that lead to the near destruction of her family at the hands of her cousins, Jewish Family Services of West Palm Beach, Florida and one of the most powerful Elder Law attorneys in South Florida. It is a warning of a legal system which is out of control.

Read this book and know that if this nightmare can happen to a loving, innocent family, it can happen to you. Read More
