A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK

In the fall of 1988, Sue Miller found herself caring for her

father, James Nichols, once a truly vital man, as he succumbed to

Alzheimer’s disease. Beginning an intensely personal journey, she

recalls the bitter irony of watching this church historian wrestle

with his increasingly befuddled notion of time and meaning. She

details the struggles with doctors, her own choices, and the

attempt to find a caring response to a disease whose special

cruelty is to diminish the humanity of those it strikes. In

luminous prose, Sue Miller has fashioned a compassionate inventory

of two lives, a memoir destined to offer comfort to all sons and

daughters struggling to make peace with their fathers and with

themselves.

“Deft, sincere and eloquent. . . With the care, restraint, and

consummate skill that define her well-crafted and bestselling

fiction, Sue Miller has now written a beautiful, compelling memoir

about her father and his downward spiral into the demonic grasp of

Alzheimer’s disease.”

—San Francisco Chronicle

“Stunning. . . A remarkable yet self-effacing testament

to the vagaries of memory . . . [Miller] turns a man’s simple life

and tragic death into a lively and unforgettable narrative.”

—Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Deeply affecting . . . Like any memoir, this one is a

way of bringing its subject back to life. . . . [This] beautifully

written little book takes on the narrative power of first-rate

fiction.”

—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“Beautifully written . . . Style and story are so

seamlessly fused, and so perfectly balanced, that true clarity

emerges."

—The Boston Globe
