About This Book
Reach for this book when your teen is struggling with the shifting dynamics of a multigenerational household or the heavy realization that a beloved grandparent is losing their independence. It is an ideal choice for families navigating the difficult transition of an elderly relative moving into assisted care or for a child feeling the weight of adult responsibilities. The story follows fifteen-year-old Alison as she takes a risky cross-country road trip with her grandfather to save him from a nursing home. While it touches on the pain of family estrangement and the progression of Parkinson's disease, it ultimately explores the profound bond between generations. It provides a realistic, non-saccharine look at the sacrifices we make for love and the messy process of finding one's own voice within a complicated family history.
