Five years ago, as the covid-19 pandemic gripped the region, TribLive reporter JoAnne Klimovich Harrop quarantined in a nursing home with her mother as society began to shut down.
Harrop left her husband, her home and her career to stay in the former Charles Morris Nursing and Rehabilitation Center with her mother, Evelyn D’Antonio Klimovich.
She didn’t leave for 84 days.
While there, she documented the journey. It became a story for TribLive that went on to win the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award in 2021.
Harrop then expanded on her experiences in a book, “A Daughter’s Promise,” published in October 2023.
The heartfelt story resonates with people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life.
