Description

Lillie Claire Glidden's world is unraveling. She finds her wallet and keys in the refrigerator, a stark reminder of her declining memory. A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease brings with it a sense of desperation and disorientation. As language fades from her grasp, Lillie Claire clings to the lessons she learned as a child on her Southern porch. Surrounded by family and caregivers, she fights to hold on to the details of her life, to recognize herself in the mirror for as long as possible. This poignant novel offers a powerful insight into the inner world of those affected by Alzheimer's disease, told with unflinching honesty and beauty.
