In 2005, when Geist's mother, Rosemary, could no longer single-handedly care for her Alzheimer's-afflicted husband, Woody, Geist left her job as a New York afternoon radio news anchor and moved back to the family homestead in rural Michigan.
Despite her difficult career as a journalist, Geist was unable to keep up with her mother's ability to care for her father. Geist gained insight into the care of Alzheimer's patients but also to the experience of caregivers.
In this book, Geist shares her thoughts and reflections on the life of a caregiver, as well as lessons learned, resources, and her experience of getting to know her father in a way not otherwise possible.
