About
Wonders in Dementialand is an imaginative account about dementia written by a painter, who sees life quite differently than most people. It is profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive.
Violet is an independent, godly-catholic woman living in Chicago. Suzka, her daughter, is a painter living in a converted warehouse in California. Suzka is the last person one would think to be a caregiver, however, during a family crisis, she is suddenly left in charge of Violet's welfare.
Suzka leaves California and moves to Chicago and into Dementialand. These two very different women are about to take you on a journey of extraordinary discoveries. It's funny, sad and touching at the same time giving the listener a glimpse into the life of dementia through unexpected lenses as a mother and daughter engage in growing out of their "selves".
This uplifting story puts you directly inside the interesting (and likable) mind of Suzka as it comes to terms with memory, identity, and dementia. The listener is provided with an imaginative look into the colorful possibilities inside dementia.
