Cheers and applause to Abby Jimenez for her ability to continually knock it out of the park with her storytelling and knack for hooking readers - from the moment I met butthole-less Pooter to the very last page. For anyone who has dealt with a loved one with memory issues, this is a gut-wrenching and beautiful story of the lengths that we will go and sacrifices we'll make to keep the memory of who that person used to be alive. My grandfather battled advanced dementia, and I found myself in tears, both saddened and laughing at times at the familiarity in Abby's words. Ms. Jimenez, your fans look at your books the way Samantha looks at mustard.
