Description

Cassie has always admired her vivacious mother who has big ideas and a playful spirit. Together they dreamed of completing a bucket list full of adventurous goals. However, their plans are disrupted when Cassie's mom is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, altering their lives significantly. Cassie does her best to keep her mom happy and cope with her dad's strict rules, while her own creativity and friendships start to falter as her mother's memories fade. After an especially tough day when her mom forgets her name, Cassie decides it’s time for one last adventure, even if it means taking major risks. Sandy Stark-McGinnis, acclaimed author of 'Extraordinary Birds,' presents a poignant story about family, friendship, and the enduring nature of memories.
