Threads of Care offers a feminist, intergenerational exploration of caregiving as a complex, often invisible labor that profoundly shapes personal and collective identity. Through narrative storytelling and critical analysis, Morissen examines how caregiving-predominantly but not exclusively performed by women-operates at the intersection of love, obligation, sacrifice, and selfhood. Threads of Care spans thirteen chapters, moving from foundational discussions of care's cultural roots and emotional landscapes through intimate portrayals of daughters' duties, grandmothers' strength, and male caregivers redefining masculinity. Key themes include the psychological toll of invisible labor, the role of memory and secrecy in family caregiving dynamics, the negotiation of identity across generations, and the transformative potential of care when acknowledged as vital human work. The book challenges rigid gender binaries, advocates for recognizing caregiving as skilled labor deserving structural support, and ultimately presents caregiving as a crucible for resilience, mutual growth, and enduring love. Threads of Care concludes with hope for societal transformation toward more equitable, compassionate models of care.
