A Place to Live, to Love, to Learn

Pauline Neri Shaver never imagined she'd one day oversee a multi-building campus for adults with disabilities. She just knew she had to help one child, and then another. This heartfelt memoir chronicles the unexpected path to becoming the founder of The Angelus, a long-term care home built not by investors but by neighbors, family, and love. With storytelling as spirited as the woman herself, A Place to Live, to Love, to Learn: A Memoir of The Founding of The Angelus is both a tribute to caregiving and a roadmap for anyone who's ever felt called to something bigger. Through memories both joyous and bittersweet, Pauline reveals how a life of service can grow out of small, steadfast steps, and how the most beautiful legacies are often born in response to great need. Told with honesty, humor, and a lifetime of hard-won wisdom, this memoir offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what it means to serve-and to love-without limits.
