The Book: Mother’s Secret
The reach of brain issues and dying elders is wider than the Mississippi River, flooding the shelves with books. Mother’s Secret: A Nutritionist’s View of Family and Alzheimer’s Disease stands alone as a genre-bender of a book, a familiar story colored by the red dirt of a family’s Southern roots and invested with scientific and nutritional knowledge.
This memoir visits both the pain and the humor of caring for a mother during the end of her life, while also considering caregivers and their health.
She is familiar, perhaps like your mother or grandmother, a woman who gained strength during the upheavals of the Depression and World War II. Her independence served her well until dementia overwhelmed her and challenged her relationship with her daughters.
