It’s been more than ten years since I moved across the country and into my childhood home with my mother, and began dreaming and writing this memoir into being. Here is the story, time lapsed into one minute and fifty-five seconds. I came for a year — I stayed for the end.

I had the pleasure of talking with Laura Vaillancourt, elder care counselor, about my experience with caregiving. We discussed how I remained sane(-ish), writing, leaving home and finding home. I hope you enjoy the podcast!

My book launch celebration during National Family Caregivers Month in November was such fun! Watch for more video clips from the program, but here is one. Many favorite stories ended up on the cutting room floor. Several of them are on this website (deleted scenes); here is a video of me reading two of them. https://tinyurl.com/Deleted-scenes
