IS THIS HOW IT ENDS? How do you hold on when you see your mother slipping away every day? Witness a mother's fading grasp on reality and a daughter's desperate fight to preserve her mother's identity as a human being, not, as others may perceive her, an empty shell. At the heart of the story is the unbreakable bond between a mother and her daughter, a bond tested by the devastating effects of dementia. The mother's failing health, the daughter's struggle to accept her mother's fading mind, and the harsh realities of a nursing home are the story's central conflicts. One underlying theme is the dehumanizing nature of institutional care; another powerful theme is the strength of memory and the search for identity in the face of loss.
