Description
A daughterās memoir of sacrifice and discovery as her ailing motherās caretaker is āan inspiring story of love, loss and the ravages of agingā (Kirkus).
Like all mothers, mine had a set of maxims that she thought were important to impart to me: if you canāt say anything nice, then donāt say anything at all (unless itās irresistibly funny); itās as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is with a poor man (a nice idea in theory); if you want to commit suicide, wait until tomorrow (advice which has, it turns out, saved my life).
Like many daughters of elderly parents, Pat MacEnulty finds herself in a maze of healthcare negotiations and surprising discoveries when her mother can no longer care for herself. Patās mother, who stood by her through her darkest years, was a small-town icon as a composer, pianist, organist, and musical director. She is suddenly unable to be the accomplished, independent person she once was. Now Pat has two goals: to help her daughter avoid the mistakes that derailed her own life, and to see her motherās masterpiece, āAn American Requiem,ā find a new life and a new audience in her motherās lifetime. Along the way, Pat rediscovers her own strength, humor, and rebelliousness at the most unlikely moments.
