Miracles All Around Me

by Marsha Burris

A daughter's memoir about the experiences caring for her mother, Rusty, who had Alzheimer's for the last decade of her life. Together they faced incredible challenges. The story explores how their relationship was sustained in spite of the plaques and tangles strangling the life from Rusty's vital neurons. It's a story of survival, of human resiliency, and most of all, it's a love story. This is a story for anyone caring for elderly parents or confronting end-of-life matters. And when you've read it, you may sympathize with the author, but you will root for Rusty.
