This book captured my interest from page 1. The story of Pru and her husband is so much like my own that reading this was both poignant and painful. Both of us living on the Upper Westside of Manhattan trying to believe that the earliest symptoms were quirkiness and eccentricity until it became abundantly clear it was Alzheimer’s. We both had stepsons and had dealt with McArthur awards.

The characters are beautifully drawn and multi-dimensional. I loved everyone in this book. It does take a village to care for an Alzheimer’s patient and I loved Pru’s village!

Obviously this well-written book pierced my heart. I cannot wait to share this with book groups. Pru was braver than me because I could never start over.

Thank you Netgalley for this touching read.
