In her “wrenching debut,” Kate Washington tells the story of her struggle to care for her seriously ill husband, offering a revealing look at the role unpaid family caregivers play in a society that fails to provide them with structural support. Available in hardback, paperback, audio, and ebook editions, Already Toast: Caregiving and Burnout in America (Beacon Press, 2021) shows how all-consuming caregiving can be, how difficult it is to find support, and how the cultural narratives that have long locked women into providing emotional labor also keep them in unpaid caregiving roles. In a starred review, Booklist called Already Toast "an eye-opening account from a full-time caregiver...a timely and crucial appeal."

Kate is a regular speaker on the systemic challenges facing family caregivers, a frequent guest on care podcasts, and available to meet with book clubs. For availability or speaking rates, please contact her.
