Singing Solo - In Search Of A Voice For Mom

As dementia transported her mother into a world devoid of memory, language, and ability, the author shed denial and began a ceaseless struggle for the only "treatment" that her mother needed: compassionate care. Singing Solo: In Search of a Voice for Mom relates a family's true story of the perils of growing old and vulnerable in America.
