Description

Seventy-one, and a man used to controlling those around him, Saul finds himself slipping into what he describes as his slow dance with death.


His ramblings, humor, emotions, lucid moments, and confusion are laid bare, as well as the thoughts and feelings of his loved ones: his wife, Monique, conflicted and depressed . . . caring, yet angry; his daughter, Florence, compassionate, yet proper and reserved; his son, Joey, self-centered and narcissistic, seemingly indifferent to his family’s challenges; and his doctor, an Alzheimer’s specialist, who cares for Saul until his final days.


From the beginning Saul and his family know how it has to end, because no one has ever outsmarted Alzheimer’s. But as they navigate the meandering road that will eventually bring Saul’s demise, they leave behind their once disconnected lives and come together to weather their difficult journey.


Heartfelt and moving, this lauded novel, winner of 2014 gold medals from the Independent Publisher Book Awards, Readers’ Favorite Book Awards, and the Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Fiction, will appeal to fans of Lisa Genova’s Still Alice or Nicholas Sparks’s The Notebook.

A Note From the Publisher

Having held several executive positions in the hospitality industry, including president of a global hotel group, he finally figured out that he was more the creative type than the corporate type. He packed up and headed to the Caribbean where he wrote his thrillers, Pinnacle of Deceit and The Innocent Traitor, and now his latest novel, An Absent Mind.

Eric has two sons and divides his time between his residence in Panama and international travel.
