Publisher's Summary

As her recent memories fade, Mary lives increasingly in the past—returning to the secrets of her turbulent interracial love story.

Coming to terms with advancing dementia, Mary has no choice other than to move into her daughter’s home. Her daughter, Kayla, caught between her cognitively impaired mother and her belligerent teenage son, soon finds caregiving is more challenging than she imagined. Sage, the family’s golden retriever, offers comfort and unconditional love, but she has her own problems, especially when it comes to dealing with Mary’s cat.

Throughout it all, Mary struggles to complete her final book—a memoir, the untold story of the love of her life, who died more than forty years earlier. Her confused and tangled tales span Trinidad, England, and Canada, revealing the secrets of a tragic interracial love story in the 1960s and ’70s. But with her writing skills slipping away, it’s a race against time.

Heartwarming, funny, and hopeful, Gone but Still Here is an honest, open look at the struggles of one family as they journey into the unknown.

A Must-Read For Any Caregiver

Know someone caring for an Alzheimer’s patient? Gift them with this book.
The journey as a caregiver may feel isolating, but this book navigates the roller coaster of emotions in a beautiful, poignant, often funny, yet sensitive way.
The 3 narrators were exceptional at bringing the various characters to life, and any reader (whether a caregiver or not) will gain tremendous insight and compassion for those whose real lives and real stories are tangled up in the confusion of dementia.
Beautifully done.
