Patti Henry's novel hits home in many ways for families experiencing betrayals and dealing with Alzheimer's as I have. It helps to read about others' trials, as well, even though it is fiction. I could relate to each family member as each lived with hidden memories and secrets. I recommend reading the book for comfort and inspiration.

This is a poignant and heartfelt story about family secrets, betrayal and ultimately finding love, family and the meaning of home. The story revolves around a father with Alzheimer's Disease and the toll it takes on family and friends.

Henry writes emotionally charged books about Southern family life and her newest revolves around Lena, a woman who hasn’t set foot in her small South Caroline hometown for years after having her heart broken. Now a travel writer, she goes everywhere but home, until she finds out her father is losing himself to Alzheimer’s. She and her estranged siblings decide to record as many of their father’s memories as they can while there is still time. Having gone through this with my own family, I appreciate the way that Henry handles the “partial” loss of a loved one who is still here, but not as the person we remember.
