Read a Q&A with Helen Hudson
|
In her bittersweet memoir, Helen Hudson writes about her beloved "Granny Jo," who has Alzheimer's disease. Few newlyweds take in a wife's grandmother after a diagnosis of dementia, but Helen and her husband did. For 13 alternately happy and frustrating years, they cared for Jo, who had raised Helen years earlier when her mother was declared, "mentally unfit to be a parent." Helen Hudson's lively tale of their ups and downs is both humorous and inspiring.
