Title: A long walk with my mom
Description: A Long Walk with My Mom is a personal account of the relationship between author Kim Syth and her mother, Helen Mason, as they journey together through Helen's battle with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The book recounts the experiences and lessons learned - the good, the sad, and the ugly - as Helen's life comes to an end. Finally, the author shares her advice to help comfort readers whose own loved ones may be facing a similar challenge. Kim Syth is the owner and operator of East Fairview Water in the small town of Fairview, Montana, where she has lived all her life. Kim plays an active role in her community, most notably for her work with Relay For Life, St. Catherine's Catholic Church, and her volunteer activities at Angel Avenue, a local extended care service for those with dementia. Kim is married to her high school sweetheart, Buck. The couple has two grown sons: Joey, who lives in Montana, and Jason, who along with his wife, Savanthi, lives in Florida. Kim and Buck currently share their home with their terrier, Chet, and their "granddog", a Great Dane named Jake
