Review: Much better than I anticipated; very touching

OK, so my neighbor forwarded me an email from the author (whom she went to high school with) announcing this book would be free to download from Amazon for one day. I had no idea what it was about, but I'm happy to support indy authors, and who doesn't like free stuff?!That was Friday. It's now Sunday, and I've finished the book. I told my neighbor this morning that I'd read only 5 percent on my Kindle last night, but I was impressed. It was well written; didn't have all the bad formatting, bad grammar, and typos that indy books are too often plagued by; and I was interested in the story.Ten hours later, I'm done, and I'm still as impressed. This was a really compelling book. Perhaps I was so touched because I'm close to 50, and it's clear many of us boomers will have to deal with these types of parental issues soon. Or maybe this author is just a good storyteller. Either way, I recommend this book.My only criticism is that, really, how many times can people "lose" an old guy they're supposed to be taking care of? By about the tenth time Frank turned around to find Gramp Sam missing, I was like, "Come on!"That said, it should be clear that I'm still a fan. Thanks for a good read.
