“There are threads of connection—people and places—woven, sometimes mysteriously, into the fabric of a life.”

- Elaine M Black -

A story with the courage to be unvarnished.

360 Degrees of Love is heartfelt, emotional and at times humorous. Elaine looks back on an itinerant childhood, a nursing career, grief, recovery, love, and the people who helped her navigate every unexpected turn.

She writes candidly about caring for her husband Damian after his Parkinson’s disease and Frontal Lobe Dementia diagnoses—and about reconnecting with a love from fifty years earlier.

It is a memoir about the complicated, life-giving forms love takes when we are brave enough to let people matter.
