After a slow start, it really picked up and I quite liked it. The author writes about how she dealt with her mother throughout the initial diagnosis of Alzhemier's and also a little bit about her life growing up in Montreal with Polish parents. It's a very honest and raw book. At times it seems a little too personal (not sure I need to hear about mom's sex life) but overall, I really liked it. She doesn't hide anything nor is she asking for forgiveness for anything she has done/not done. ( )
