Laksa Media Groups is pleased to announce the Table of Contents for The Sum of Us: Tales of the Bonded and Bound (edited by Susan Forest and Lucas K. Law), an anthology exploring the depth and breadth of caregiving and caregivers–the unsung heroes, the province of ghosts . . .
Summoned to us by the profound magic of great emotional, physical, or psychological need, they play their roles, and when our need diminishes . . .
Fade. These are their stories. Slated for September 8, 2017 publication date.
