Someday All This Will Be Yours is written by Hendrik Hartog and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674283198 (ISBN 10) and 9780674283190 (ISBN 13).

Hartog tells the heartbreaking stories of how families fought over the work of caring for the elderly, and its compensation, in a time before pensions, Social Security, and nursing homes filled this gap. As an explosive economy drew the young away from home, we see how the elderly used promises of inheritance to keep children at their side.
