Publisher's Note
A witty account of one woman's struggle to care for her aging parents finds her family's life thrown into turmoil by the antics of her mother and stepfather as dementia and Alzheimer's take their toll, transforming the duo into a pair of unruly teens, as she struggles to manage her parents' lives and her own as both spiral out of control. 35,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
"An especially skilled storyteller, Federico portrays her mother and Walter with incredible compassion, even as you can see (and feel) her exasperation with their antics. Her recollection of these two years is crafted with such beautiful detail, every character comes to life."
(02/21/2009)

"Seemingly overnight, Addie, the woman Federico had always known as cool, proper and self-possessed, became erratic and infantile...While tinged with sadness, the relationship Federico forged with her over this period was, ironically, a great deal more loving than the one they had before."
