Shaun is finally free of responsibilities to anyone but himself; single, with two grown up daughters, he is just embarking on a new life in a new country when he gets a call to say his father is dying.
His mother has Parkinson's Dementia and is in a care home. Shaun faces a stark choice: should he give up his new-found freedom, or turn his back on the woman he'd fought so hard to protect, not least from his own father?
Shaun's mother had loved and cared for her son all her life. Could he now do the same for her?

"An honest and thoughtful memoir about what it means to be a carer - particularly what it means to be a man who cares. Moving but, ultimately, full of hope. Beautiful." (Kate Mosse)
"A beautiful, intimate story of love and understanding - candid and funny. This is a lyrical memoir of hope and forgiveness." (Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path)
"A heart-warming, heart-wrenching and beautifully humane account of loving and caring." (Nicci Gerrard, novelist and author of What Dementia Teaches Us About Love)
