All the Dancing Birds | Auburn McCanta

1 post | 2 read | 1 to read

Lillie Claire Glidden is unraveling. She knows she's in trouble when she finds her wallet and keys deep in the refrigerator, smelling of lettuce and forgetfulness. And not even her favorite California red wine can dull the pain of the dreaded diagnosis: Alzheimer's. As language starts to fail her and words disappear, Lillie Claire is determined to find a way to pass on the lessons she learned as a child on a Southern porch. Surrounded by family and caregivers, she fights to hold on to the details of her life, and to recognize the woman in the mirror for as long as possible. Told from Lillie Claire's perspective, All the Dancing Birds offers beautiful and terrifying insight into the secret mind of those touched-and ultimately changed-by the mystery of Alzheimer's disease.

All the Dancing Birds | Auburn McCanta

This was a Kindle freebie I got years ago, and finally got around to. It's fiction about a relatively young woman (mid-50s) who gets Alzheimers. She is a writer and poet, so interspersed in her narrative are letters she has written to her children over the years. This book is heart-breaking, but so beautifully written. I would love to read more by this author, but apparently she has not written another. I recommend this one. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
