Motherhood: Lost and Found

Publisher Description:

Ann, a freelance writer and horsewoman, returns to North Carolina after a several-year absence. In her mid-thirties and ready to start a family, she is used to setting goals and accomplishing them. But when she experiences a series of miscarriages at the same time her mother spirals into Alzheimer’s, Ann plunges into an emotional journey that leads her to a deeper understanding of herself and what it means to love. The voice in Ann’s memoir has been called constant and abiding, her imagery indelible. Her graceful, exacting language rises above the grief of infertility and the struggle to care for aging parents, connecting the reader ultimately to the heartbeat and resilience of the human experience. Named "One of the best Alzheimer's books of all time" by Book Authority two years in a row.
