Many thanks to NetGalley and High Bridge Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of this thought-provoking book by Rebecca Sugar, wonderfully narrated by Sarah Welborn - 4 stars!
One family dealing with life's realities - illness and aging - and all coping in different ways. Patriarch Matt is recovering from surgery and has severe physical issues stemming from a long ago spinal cord injury. His childhood nanny, Mae, has always been a huge part of their family and she is dying, though still happy and hopeful. Matt's daughter, Mira, is the one who puts her life on hold to help her parents through this part of their lives, and dreads the inevitable phone calls, while her brother is very checked out of the situation.
This book will touch anyone who is going through similar issues and I totally related. It's not easy to watch those you love suffer. It's hard not to be resentful of siblings who don't help. And faith? Faith keeps you going. I thought this book was honest, realistic, and hopeful.
