Blue Hydrangeas: Marianne Sciucco

Autor Marianne Sciucco
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 sep 2013
What if the person who knew you best and loved you most forgot your face, and couldn't remember your name? Memory care is everyone's solution for what to do about Sara, but her husband, Jack, can't bear to live without her. He's committed to saving his marriage, his wife, and their life together from the devastation of Alzheimer's disease. They retired years ago to the house of their dreams and operated it as a Cape Cod bed and breakfast named Blue Hydrangeas. Jack has made an impossible promise: They will stay together in their beautiful home no matter what the disease brings. However, after nine years of selfless caregiving, complicated by her progressing Alzheimer's and his own failing heart, Jack finally admits he can no longer care for his wife at home. With reluctance, he arranges to admit her to an assisted living facility. But on the morning of admission, Sara is having one of her few good days, and he's unable to follow through. Instead, he takes them on an impulsive journey to confront their past and reclaim their future. Readers say: "So beautifully written, so tender, so real." "It hardly seems possible that beautiful and Alzheimer's could be used in the same sentence, but the author paints a picture of this insidious disease and the beauty of a love too deep to succumb." "For a quick read that will give a clear picture of Alzheimer's, I highly recommend this book!" "Thank you for an excellent read on an important topic."
