Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer's, My Mother, and Me

Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer's, My Mother, and Me

In this powerful memoir the the LA Times calls â€œmoving, rigorous, and heartbreaking," Sarah Leavitt reveals how Alzheimerâ€™s disease transformed her mother, Midge, and her family forever. In spare blackand- white drawings and clear, candid prose, Sarah shares her familyâ€™s journey through a harrowing range of emotionsâ€”shock, denial, hope, anger, frustrationâ€”all the while learning to cope, and managing to find moments of happiness. Midge, a Harvard educated intellectual, struggles to comprehend the simplest words; Sarahâ€™s father, Rob, slowly adapts to his new role as full-time caretaker, but still finds time for wordplay and poetry with his wife; Sarah and her sister Hannah argue, laugh, and grieve together as they join forces to help Midge. Tangles confronts the complexity of Alzheimerâ€™s disease, and ultimately releases a knot of memories and dreams to reveal a bond between a mother and a daughter that will never come apart.
