Imagine being diagnosed with dementia, placed in a facility, then waking up symptom free - excited as can be - only to find that everyone has moved on with their lives. For instance, your son is now living in your house, enjoying the fruits of your labors; worse still, the love of your life has taken up with someone else. This is what happens to Phillip, who was a doctor prior to his downfall, a highly respected member of the community. He feels blessed to have his health back. But is he up to all the challenges that now lie before him?
Readers who have been written off by those around them may appreciate this story. As well, those with a relative or friend suffering from dementia may find the account to be insightful and enjoyable.
This is Eric Stevens' third novella for 2015, the first to be made available on Kindle.
