Memoir
Date Published: April 22nd
Publisher: Acorn Publishing
Sarah Vosburgh has often felt misunderstood by her mother, a woman who lived a
quintessential suburban life. But when her mother is diagnosed with
Alzheimer’s, Sarah’s world unravels, and she must confront a
disease that will only worsen. As roles reverse between mother and daughter,
Sarah faces the guilt of making decisions she hopes are the right ones while
also carrying the grief of losing her mom bit by bit everyday. She navigates a
labyrinth of health services amid the heartbreaking, and at times darkly
humorous, realities of caregiving.
There are the white lies and midnight phone calls, the misbuttoned blouses,
and the second slice of chocolate pie that tastes just as good as it did the
first time. And then there’s the quiet awe at the persistence of
connection even when language falters and names are forgotten.
Name the Bees? is a daughter’s unflinching love letter to the flawed, fierce,
and unforgettable woman who raised her.
