In today’s featured author article, The Festival of Storytellers alongside ReadersMagnet dedicates its piece to a meaningful and relevant memoir. Jackie McDaniels pours her heart out in her book Daughters on Duty: A Caregiver’s Guide to Managing Medical Matters.
What is it about, and why should readers consider adding it to their shelves?
Why Memoirs? The Significance of Other’s Stories
Literature is the place to be when you’re in need of a good heartwarming, or riveting story.
People run to pens and papers when they long to relieve a burdensome feeling or share an experience that’s left a mark in their lives. Hence, readers are given a vast selection of materials to expose themselves to raw humanity. Thinking about it and reading about someone else’s life can be strange. But if you’re learning something from it, why should it be seen in a bizarre light?
Historically, this type of material was considered an “inferior” form of writing.
However, in its upcoming online book fair, The Festival of Storytellers, self-publishing and marketing company ReadersMagnet will highlight the beauty behind this concept. The event aims to show that reading others’ stories isn’t only a form of entertainment but an enlightenment—showcasing its importance in literature.
While this type of storytelling isn’t as complex as novels or creative writing, these materials hold the most relevance and significance in readers’ lives based on another’s experiences. They capture reality and what this entails, offering readers actual wisdom.

A memoir The Festival of Storytellers will exhibit during the event will be one written from Jackie McDaniels’ experiences. Much known information about the author and the life she’s led comes from her book Daughters on Duty: A Caregiver’s Guide to Managing Medical Matters.
It follows how much of a kind and loving daughter she is to her mother and in-laws as she wholeheartedly and tirelessly cared for them. Beyond her wits and nurturing nature as a hands-on caregiver, Jackie McDaniels is an impressive woman. She had bravely taken the responsibility of providing care to her in-laws and mother, even without previous nursing knowledge.
Women are hard-wired to nurture.
However, Jackie McDaniels took this a step further when she openly embraced her new role in her family’s lives. She served them without complaints and with full diligence by providing for their demands and needs. She’s a true testament to what unconditional love stands for, which is an unwavering desire to care for the people one loves. Her experiences and the lessons she’s gathered along the way can be read in her first book, Daughters on Duty.
The Story and Advocacy Behind “Daughters on Duty”
Daughter on Duty: A Caregiver’s Guide to Managing Medical Matters is more than just a simple handbook for future caregivers. Although it comes with a manual to guide those on the path towards becoming one, the book is primarily Jackie McDaniels’ story. It’s a reflection of the pureness of her heart throughout her years of service to her family.
As someone who has never had any background in nursing or social work, Jackie McDaniels captures the reality she had to endure. Her shift from being independent to someone who must be within arm’s reach of those she’s caring for wasn’t easy.
However, readers will be able to read how she overcame such a rigorous change in her lifestyle. Through Daughters on Duty, she encourages people to empathize with not only the patients but also those who provide them care and nurture.
Beyond capturing the heartwarming side of caregiving and the heroic service caregivers provide, Daughters on Duty also serves as a wake-up call to people.
Jackie McDaniels highlights how short life is and how unpredictable it can be. More than just a story about a caregiver’s journey, Daughters on Duty aims to remind readers to show their love daily. People shouldn’t wait until the last moment or when those they love are weak to show their affection. Love shouldn’t come with an ultimatum before it’s expressed.
