When an author makes me feel, I really think it's something. Now, the subject matter is tough in general though, isn't it? I had a family member who lived with alzheimers and its not pretty. I am wondering what the other conflict is all about too, with Eve and her husband.

It's easier, as a caregiver, than it is for family, and there can be moments of beauty and grace in caring for someone who is suffering. <br /><br />This sounds like a lovely and heart-breaking story.
