Preface

Clara and her mother Tamar have had a fractious relationship for years ever since Tamar all but pushed her daughter out the door to go to college. Since then communication between the two has been strained to say the least and many things lay unsaid between them.

Almost a decade later Clara finds herself moving closer to her home town near the Adirondack Mountains. Tamar has recently become increasingly forgetful and has been diagnosed with early onset dementia. Clara arrives home full of questions for her mother but how will she cope when the mother she knew is no longer there? And how will she come to terms with the knowledge that she has a fifty- fifty chance of being diagnosed with the illness herself.
