Summary:
"Some say courage is fear that has said its prayers. Bobbi may be married with two grown children, but the child inside still fears and resents the attacks and tirades of her ninety-year-old mother, now afflicted with dementia. While still a teenager, Bobbi was disowned by her mother. How can she now take on the role of
caregiver
? Bobbi seeks escape from the task, but gradually realizes that Jesus has a greater goal in mind than teaching her to be a
caregiver
. Crisis after crisis forces Bobbi to turn to Jesus for help, all the while testing to see if his promises can be taken literally. Nancy's erratic behaviour and moods punctuate the ensuing year. Stripped of any illusion that she can cope on her own, Bobbi finds her faith rewarded in unpredictable ways. Her journey of anxiety and failure also comes with insights and small but important victories. She tells the story candidly, often humorously, as she comes to a deeper understanding of dementia, her mother, and most of all, Jesus. Bobbi Junior writes and speaks about caregiving, drawing from two life-altering experiences -- a devastating accident which left her teenage daughter paralyzed, and her mother's journey with dementia. She has published her daughter's experience in an anthology, Telling Truths: Storying Motherhood. Bobbi lives in Edmonton, Alberta. She blogs at bobbijunior.com"--Provided by publisher.
