Tory Hoen answered Lamoyoms's question: Hi Tory, I’m really intrigued by your journey and your upcoming book Before I Forget. Would you be open to sharing more about what inspired this story? My father had Alzheimer's and died when I was in my early thirties. It was a topic that I wanted to write about, but it took me a while to figure out an angle that felt fresh and unexpected. I wanted to honor the emotional truth of what it means to n See Full Answer

Quotes by Tory Henwood Hoen (?)

“Despite feeling intense internal pressure to become more practical in order to survive, she could not fully tear herself away from the creative life. She felt caught between worlds and wholly unemployable.”

― Tory Henwood Hoen, The Arc
