Description
Kate Mulgrew's memoir is a deeply personal and powerful exploration of family, love, and loss. When her father is diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer and her mother with atypical Alzheimer's, she returns to her hometown in Iowa to care for them in their final days. The months that follow are marked by both joy and tragedy, as Kate reflects on the lives of her parents and how they shaped her own. As Kate navigates the complexities of her family's past, she uncovers long-kept secrets that challenge her understanding of the household in which she was raised. This is a considered portrait of a mother and a father, an emotionally charged memoir that examines the nature of family, memory, and indelible loss.
