“I recommend this touching novel to anyone who wants to learn about the effect of an elder’s cognitive deterioration on a family and its caregivers.”

—Sandeep Jauhar, MD, New York Times best-selling author of My Father’s Brain: Life in the Shadow of Alzheimer’s

“Set on the beautiful, but ever-more crowded coast of Maine, [this book] is a fitting reminder that despite our memories of how idyllic things might have been, we can come to accept a new reality: the past is history, the future a mystery, while being present, especially in the presence of dementia, is a gift to all.”

—Kevin Jameson, chair of the Dementia Society of America
