In this graphic memoir, the author reveals how Alzheimer's disease transformed her mother, and her family, forever. In spare black-and-white drawings accompanied by prose, the author shares her family's journey through a harrowing range of emotions, shock, denial, hope, anger and frustration, all the while learning to cope, and managing to find moments of happiness. This book confronts the complexity of Alzheimer's disease, and gradually opens a knot of moments, memories and dreams to reveal a bond between a mother and a daughter that will never come apart. |
