A witty and poignant novel about the power of love and the heartbreak of living with someone with dementia. It took me a while to warm to the book, which is mostly written as brief diary entries, but once it picked up momentum, I was thoroughly engaged. I would give it 4-1/2 stars.
Sad subject-matter, but written in a really clever, funny, sort of random way. I loved how the dad kept a journal of all the cute, funny things Ruth did as a child. I really liked it!
Sweet, quick read.
When going home to help care for a declining family member is better than staying in place to deal with the mess of your own life.....Lovely, Funny and Heartbreaking all at once. Life is hard. Life is beautiful. I loved this one!
