Reviews

"Cohen has written a frank, funny, and unexploitative memoir. She is not shy about detailing her father's Alzheimer's, but she's equally intent on illuminating his dignity."
New York Times
"What might have seemed impossibly contrived as a novel is instead a sympathetic work of reporting about being involved simultaneously with both ends of life-childhood wonder and aged senility."
Library Journal
"The adventure and peril of everyday living captured in language that's light, beautiful, and razor-sharp."
