About

That’s What

You Think chronicles Sara Elliss’ journey from independence to dependence. Although the story is based on her own mothers dilemmas in aging, beginning when her mother turned eighty-eight years-old, Joyce found the writing to be both joyous and cathartic to fictionalize. The writing helped me to believe that my mother really thought these things that make this book my heartfelt gift to her memory.

For a long time, sadness blocked me from finishing our story, but my mother’s dignity and the time I spent with her encouraged me to translate the traumas of aging into a story of love and respect.

Thank you, Mom, for taking me with you in your final hours.
