Summary:
"Many know Kimberly Williams-Paisley as the bride in the Steve Martin remakes of the Father of the Bride movies, the calculating Peggy Kenter on Nashville, or the wife of country music artist Brad Paisley. But behind the scenes, Kim was dealing with a tragic secret: her mother, Linda, was suffering from a rare form of dementia that slowly crippled her ability to talk, write and eventually recognize people in her own
family
. The story of Linda's illness - called primary progressive aphasia - from her early-onset diagnosis at the age of 62 through the present day. The ways her
family
reacted for better and worse, and how she, her father and two siblings educated themselves, tried to let go of shame and secrecy, made mistakes, and found unexpected humor and grace in the midst of suffering. Ultimately the bonds of
family
were strengthened, and Kim learned ways to love and accept the woman her mother became. A heartwarming tribute to the often fragile yet unbreakable
relationships
we have with our mothers. American movie and television actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley is known for her co-starring roles on According to Jim and Nashville, as well as her breakthrough performance in Father of the Bride (1991) and its sequel Father of the Bride Part II (1995)"--Provided by publisher.
