"It is a story about my mom, who had Alzheimer's and the journey I went through with her as my mom and then as her referring to me as her mom figure and how I grew as a caretaker/mother in this capacity.
Back cover: My whole life I have wanted to be a mother. To raise a child and show them the true meaning of everything that life has to offer, especially unconditional love. What I didn't expect, was the manner in which this desire would inhabit my life....as it manifested itself in the form of my actual mother. How is that possible some of you might say....
She suffered from Alzheimer's for fifteen long years and during that time, she began to think of me as her mother. From the time she was diagnosed with this affliction, she went from being my mother to a young adult that was slowly losing her faculties and I cared for her until her infancy stage and eventual passing.
Experiencing a mother who also thought of ME as her mother was a beautiful unexpected gift and blessing. It took me years to realize this as the book describes but the journey filled a void in me that took ten years to come to fruition.
