Description
Number-one national best seller
Based on her hugely popular Facebook posts and Instagram photos, Feeding My Mother is a frank, funny, inspirational, and piercingly honest account of the transformation in Jann Arden's life that has turned her into the primary "parent" to her mom, who is in the grip of Alzheimer's.
Jann Arden moved in to a house just across the way from her parents in rural Alberta to be close to them but also so they could be her refuge from the demands of the music business and a performing career. Funny how time works. Since her dad died in 2015, Jann cooks for her mom five or six times a week. Her mom finds comfort in her daughter's kitchen, not just in the delicious food but also just sitting with her as she cooks. And Jann finds some peace in caring for her mom, even as her mom slowly becomes a stranger. "If you told me two years ago that I'd be here," Jann writes, "I wouldn't have believed it. And yet we still fall into so much laughter, feel so much insane gladness and joy. It's such a contrast from one minute to the next and it teaches me constantly: It makes me stronger and more humble and more empathetic and caring and kind."
The many people who are dealing with a loved one who is losing it will find inspiration and strength in Jann's wholehearted, loving response and her totally Jann take on the upside-down world of a daughter mothering her mother. Feeding My Mother is one heck of an affirmation that life just keeps on keeping on and a wonderful example of how you have to roll with it.

Histoire
Digging deep into her strengths, her failures and her losses, Jann Arden brings us an inspiring account of how she has surprised herself, in her fifties, by at last becoming completely her own person. Like many women, it took Jann a long time to realize that trying to be pleasing and likeable and beautiful in the eyes of others was a loser's game. Letting it rip, and damning the consequences, is not only liberating, it's a hell of a lot of fun: "Being the age I am—that so many women are—is just the best time of my life."

Jann Arden is funny. And sincere. She has legions of devoted fans. And a radio show. She is a darling of the music scene - always candid, always unplugged. You thought you knew Jann Arden, but there is more - to her listeners' delight, in Falling Backwards Jann reveals her childhood, her bond with family, her struggle in the formative years and what keeps her so grounded in the whirlwind entertainment industry. Jann has always been true to herself, except for a minor lapse when she was young. Oh wait, wasn't that all of us?

Histoire
On mean Harp Bittlemore’s blighted farm, hidden away in the Backhills, nothing has gone right for a very long time. Crops don’t grow, the pigs and chickens stay skinny and the three aged dairy cows, Berle, Crilla and Dally, are so desperate they are plotting an escape. The one thing holding them back is the thought of abandoning young Willa, the single bright point in their life since her older sister, Margaret, ran away. But Willa Bittlemore, just turning 14, is planning her own rebellion.

Gordon was a proud and ambitious schoolteacher with a terrifying temper, a deep streak of melancholy, and a devotion to flowers, cars, words, and his wife....

What is Rick Mercer going to do now? That was the question on everyone's lips when the beloved comedian retired his hugely successful TV show after 15 seasons - and at the peak of its popularity. The answer came not long after, when he roared back in a new role as stand-up-comedian, playing to sold-out houses wherever he appeared. And then COVID-19 struck. And his legions of fans began asking again: What is Rick Mercer going to do now? Well, for one thing, he's been writing a comic masterpiece.

Behind the curtain of her happy on-screen persona, Valerie Bertinelli’s life has been no easy ride, especially when it comes to her own self-image and self-worth. She waged a war against herself for years, learning to equate her value to her appearance as a child star on One Day at a Time and punishing herself in order to fit into the unachievable Hollywood mold. She struggled to make her marriage to Eddie Van Halen—the true love of her life—work, despite all the rifts the rock-star lifestyle created between them.

Comfort
Jann Arden has brought me such comfort and joy as she has told her story. She is distinctly Canadian and there is so much that she talks about that is exactly right-whether it’s finding the remote in the dog food bag or giving the squirrels scraps of material for their nests, she makes the connections that anyone who has an aging parent, maybe living with Alzheimer’s or not can relate to and have a little laugh at the. Keep going...loved this book!

Thanks you, for wonderfully writing your real and raw, vulnerable moments with us in the evident life changing challenges of living with Alzheimer’s.

Thank you for being open it has opened me up to be grateful for the opportunity to become my best self in the midsts of what I viewed as hopeless chaos.

A wonderful listen
Jann has a wonderful way of storytelling. I am grateful for many of her words as they resonated with me so much as a woman "raising" 2 parents with dementia. There is hope and she is right- you have to help yourself or you won't get through this journey with them. It can bring growth if you seek it...and don't beat yourself up if you screw up along the way. Try to laugh whenever you can.

Thank you!!!
My father has been battling Alzheimer's for years now, and I found comfort and relief knowing that I was not the only one feeling this way. The stories in your book have touch me. I can not help to remember the troubles and heartbreak I faced and are facing with dad. Alzheimer's does take away everything that one has. It truly breaks my heart.
Thank you Jann Arden!

Love this book
Feeding my Mother is a wonderful piece of truth written by Canada's Jann Arden. I bought this when it first came out a few years ago and read it on a 5 hour plane ride and couldn't put it down. I am revisiting it by way of audio. A gentle reminder of what is important in life - Jann's spirit shines through in her work.

Amazing As Told By Jann Arden Herself !!
I would not have considered listening to this book, had it not been for the fact that Jann Arden was narrating it. Absolutely worth every minute of listening to a subject that definitely requires much more education and awareness. Thanx so much Audible for offering this book in your collection !!
