Aging Out

In "Aging Out," Lucy Schiller conducts a deeply personal investigation into the state of eldercare in America, exploring how societal attitudes towards aging have shaped the experiences of the elderly, particularly during the COVID pandemic. Drawing from her own loss and fears surrounding aging, Schiller examines the intersections of class, race, disability, and public policy within the broader crisis of inadequate housing, healthcare, and community for older Americans. This audiobook combines insightful reporting with introspective storytelling, revealing the emotional and societal complexities of growing old in a culture often unprepared to care for its most vulnerable.
