A Tale of Two Stories and Musings
I have to admit up front that I'm conflicted about this book. It's basically a book with two story lines but it's also packed full of little known snippets of information and the authors musings mostly about those little snippets. I actually found this to be the best part of this book, absorbing the information and looking things up. I did appreciate the story of her stepfather and his slow descent to dementia and death. I loved reading about her care of him as I'm dealing with some of this myself right now. The other people who move in and out of her life were much less interesting to me. I was pleasantlymore

All Over The Place
I started reading not knowing what to expect. I am familiar with the term Activities of Daily Living. But as the story of The Father progressed, along with it went The Artist, and lots of other bits and pieces. At some point, I felt, "Enough!". I did not finish the book and so my review is incomplete. Perhaps someone else would appreciate this style, but I did not.
