The memory book

Claire decides to assemble a Memory Book, a collection of keepsakes and photographs, knowing that it may become the only lasting record of her for her husband and daughters. She is living with early-onset Alzheimer's, and each day she loses a little more of the life she has built.

The novel follows Claire as she tries to preserve what matters to her family while her own memories fade. Her choices about what to record, and what to leave for those she loves, shape the story as much as her illness does.

At its heart, this is a novel about the bond between mothers and daughters and about the lengths a person will go for the people she loves.
