Holding Space: A Daughter’s Journey Through Caregiving, Faith, and the Long Middle

When love asks everything of you, what do you give? In Holding Space, Deidra Jackson opens her heart in a deeply personal memoir about caring for her Vietnam veteran father. What began as helping with meals and doctor visits became a profound journey of faith, endurance, and rediscovering grace in the “long middle” between duty and love. Honest, tender, and unflinchingly human, this book is a companion for every caregiver who has ever felt invisible while holding everyone else together and every woman balancing the competing demands of motherhood, marriage, and leadership. Through moments of exhaustion and extraordinary love, Jackson reminds us that grace lives even in the hardest days and that love, in its quietest form, is still enough.
