If you've got a teenager in your life, you probably need a dose of Dramamine. That's right - that little blue pill for motion sickness. You're probably queasy from the whirlwind of trying to keep up with their social calendar. You may feel dizzy from all the ups and downs of riding their emotional roller coaster. You might even have a headache from banging your head against the wall, feeling frustrated by an apparent failure to communicate. Well, before you commit any heinous acts - or take up karate as the family sport of choice....

Rose is delightful, flamboyant, and a widow. Having just lost her husband, Rose's daughter steps in to find Rose increasingly disoriented and forgetful. Even as a nurse, Maureen does not recognize the early signs of her mother's dementia - a diagnosis that changes her mother's life and those close to her. The contrast between the reality of Rose's condition and the "Casablanca Style" in which she lived is stark yet beautiful. This book parallels Still Alice's medical description of the illness but picks up where Still Alice leaves off.
