Gretchen Staebler promises to spend one year in her childhood home
caring for her stubborn ninety-six-year-old mother-sort of a
middle-aged gap year. Then her mother will move to assisted living
and she will return to her own life, their relationship magically
having become all she ever longed it to be. Can it be that easy? As
mother and daughter each try desperately to keep a firm grasp on
their independence, their daily battles in Mama's kitchen fiefdom
echo the clash of adolescence and menopause in the same spot
decades earlier. Penetrating the fog of her mother's advancing
dementia, hypochondria, and blindness with humor, frustration, and
compassion-and wine-the author slowly comes to accept and respect
the mother she got, if not the one she wished for. In the process,
she becomes a self-taught authority on aging, dementia, the
healthcare system, and self-care. But how long will healing between
mother and daughter take-and how long do they have?
