On Sunday’s I will post a book that really touched me, maybe even made me cry
🤍Today’s pick -🎧The Favorite Daughter by Patti Callahan Henry🤍
My Review: 4.25⭐
Heartstrings officially yanked. The journey to find the true meaning of ‘home’ results in a compelling, heartbreaking and emotional read that shows the true meaning of family. The author does a good job of bringing in the reality of Alzheimer’s. I hope someday soon there will be a day that families do not have to endure the terrible effects this disease.
Trigger warning: cheating
Book blurb:
Ten years ago, Lena Donohue experienced a wedding-day betrayal so painful that she fled the small town of Watersend, South Carolina, and reinvented herself in New York City. Though now a freelance travel writer, the one place she rarely goes is home – until she learns of her dad’s failing health.
Returning to Watersend means seeing the sister she has avoided for a decade and the brother who runs the family’s Irish pub and has borne the burden of his sisters’ rift. While Alzheimer’s slowly steals their father’s memories, the siblings rush to preserve his life in stories and in photographs. As his secret past brings Lena’s own childhood into focus, it sends her on a journey to discover the true meaning of home.
