Book Review: I Will Never Forget: A Daughter's Story of Her Mother's Arduous and Humorous Journey Through Dementia by Elaine C. Pereira

I Will Never Forget: A Daughter's Story of Her Mother's Arduous and Humorous Journey Through DementiaI Will Never Forget: A Daughter's Story of Her Mother's Arduous and Humorous Journey Through Dementia by Elaine C. Pereira
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This lovely memoir was moving & poignant. The author openly shared the story of her mother’s journey through dementia, and all of the personal and emotional turmoil it created. At times the story felt jumbled when the author would jump from childhood memories to the present and back again, but overall this was a beautiful story of love and loss and tremendous personal strength, as a loving mother and devoted daughter faced the cruel reality of dementia and memory loss.

The author was able to create stunning prose to describe the daily struggle as she faced, “the nebulous abyss of being a parent to your parent.”
