Well, don't I feel like a big ninny! I veered away from this book, only because of its title. It's been several years now, but my grandmother passed and she was suffering from dementia, which is such a hard thing to watch. I kept telling myself.... I just don't want to be reminded. Well.... this is where I feel like a big ninny. It was indeed about the authors mother Joan, and it was also about Alzheimer's too. But it was also woven together in a deep and touching story about this authors life. The circumstances that lead her to where she is today. The way in which an author tells a story is really what makes a great book. A great memoir. I can honestly say now, that I wished I hadn't waited as long as I did... because I (now) know friends that are going through some of the same things this author did, and I really want to recommend and share this book with them. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Kudos for being so strong and writing such a detailed account of your circumstances and triumphs.
