About this listen

What really happened to the hat and the gloves entirely depends on who you ask.

When Marion, a once-independent wealthy woman, begins her descent into Alzheimer's, her world shrinks to a new shared home with her son and his partner. But what should be a time of familial support turns into a maelstrom of accusations and betrayal.

During a visit from Marion's sister and her husband, a beloved hat is mysteriously mutilated. This seemingly small act of destruction ignites a family firestorm, exposing long-buried tensions and testing loyalties.

As the story unfolds through multiple perspectives, listeners are drawn into a web of conflicting memories, half-truths, and heartbreaking realizations. With each chapter, the lines between victim and perpetrator blur, challenging our understanding of family, trust, and the devastating effects of dementia.

Cynthia Cook's unflinching narrative forces us to confront the question: In a family torn apart by illness and suspicion, can the truth ever truly be known? And more importantly, can forgiveness find a way?
