Left Neglected ReviewBeautifully written, Genova takes us into the hurried and harried lives of a young family who seem to have it all or do they? Running in all directions,jobs, daycare, after school activites,you know the drill. Traveling in her car Sarah looks away from the road for one split second, shes doing the one thing that so many of us have become guilty of in this high tech over connected world we live in,texting while driving. In that split second of inattention Sarah's world change's forever.
The aftermath of the accident leaves Sarah with a traumatic brain injury know as left brain neglect. For the individual who suffers this devestating brain insult it is beyond all comprehension, because to Sarah the left side of her body ceases to exsist.
I found this book to be truly fascinating as Ms. Genova has the uncanny ability to get inside Sarah's head and describes this injury from her point of view, so that you truly understand what she is feeling. It's an amazing gift and I believe made this book a most rewarding read.
It is also a true cautionary story, one blink of an eye life can change forever and things can never be the same, we all get this, but this book reminds us quite vividly just how devestating the consquences can be.Left Neglected Overview

Welcome to the Departure Lounge: Adventures in Mothering Mother ReviewMeg Federico's Welcome to the Departure Lounge is a poignant, hilarious, beautifully written and invaluable book.
It tells the story of a mother's decline and eventual death, and a daughter's determined effort to make this difficult process as dignified and decent as possible. As her mother lapses further into dementia, and her household (consisting of an Alheimers-afflicted husband and an assortment of mostly well-meaning relatives, friends and care-givers) falls into chaos, Ms. Federico struggles to bring sanity to the situation. But she finds she has to make more personal sacrifices and to deal with more bizarre situations than she had anticipated. And she must also find a way to resolve the conflicts in her difficult relationship with her mother.
Ms. Federico accomplishes the difficult task of telling this story in a way that recognizes the outlandish humor in the frustrations that constantly arise, even as she gives full weight to the underlying heartbreak, sorrow and loss. She gives us a true affirmation of the process of living with all its tenderness, pain, giddy humor, sacrifice, indignity, exuberance, sadness, and inevitable loss.
For anyone who has ever been involved in tending to an aging parent, this book will strike many (and not all painful) familiar chords. And for anyone who is anticipating or currently tending to an aging parent, Welcome to the Departure Lounge will will be an invaluable, funny and wise companion.
It's also a wonderful funny and heartwarming read.Welcome to the Departure Lounge: Adventures in Mothering Mother Overview

Roastbeef's Promise: When Your Dad's Dying Wish Is to Have His Ashes Sprinkled in Each State, What's a Son to Do ReviewThe premise in unusual yet carried out so well that it is sometimes hysterically funny. Jim "Roastbeef" Hume's father is suffering from a severe case of Alzheimer's Disease, a lifelong hater of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, he now believes that he is Roosevelt and making executive decisions. In his last hours, he asks that his body be cremated and his ashes scattered throughout the 48 contiguous states of the United States. Jim is a mediocre college student with no money, so even though his father was demented when he made the request, to Jim a promise is a promise, so he embarks on the journey, which starts in the Washington D. C. area.
Jim travels by car, bus, moped, bicycle, truck, train, and on foot. He bums rides, jobs and almost everything else when he can't find enough work to continue the journey. In a very funny book, the best part by far was when he was describing his "Uncle Spud." "Spud" was a member of his father's army unit in World War II and he received a Purple Heart for his wound in "hand-to-hand combat" with a German woman armed with a potato peeler. Spud is an unmarried Professor of agriculture at Cal Poly and the description of this colorful character had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.
This is the most unusual road story that I have ever read, Jim struggles with adversity, everything from getting his car stolen to being thrown in jail to having the container of his father's ashes overturned and stolen. Yet he perseveres, meeting some of the oddest people ever to appear in a story, so quirky that they were plausible. It is one of the best pieces of humorous fiction that I have ever read.
