A sober tale of the last days of a mother, grandmother and great grandmother lost in Alzheimer's. Her and her dead husband's monologues are haunting, the hard core evidence of the soul search (and discoveries) of the daughter heart disturbing. Kudos to Ms. Stemper for never going into drama mode. This book is not a sitcom sensationalized by T.V. but a true moving story. Made me think of the simple solution never to become a drag to my own children and society.
