"There's only one man I've ever loved. We met when I was fourteen, and we were married for sixty-seven years. What the hell was his name?"-Nora Jo Life goes from Michigan to Mars when Lisa and her family move in her grandmother, Nora Jo, upon diagnosis of dementia. Now, the family must strategize using-laugther, tears, beers, nightlights, and signs, signs, signs-to get through the shock of living with Alzheimer's.
Winner of five international awards and in series development, Lisa cracks the truth about caregiving-both the joys and challenges-wide open in this frank, funny, and heartbreaking memoir that is as much a day-to-day account of caregiving as it is a tribute to a woman who was not just a grandmother but a lifelong mentor and confidant.
