Publisher's Synopsis
A beautifully illustrated, sensitively told story of one day in the life of a woman struggling with dementia, evoking powerful emotions of a life remembered and a present defined by memories

It is a rare and poignant picture book, handling a sensitive subject with respect and dignity. Its insights and beauty are derived from perceptive, lyrical detail, and stunning illustrations.
