A New Memoir
by Lorene Cary
Rain dances nourishment
from the soil
Tears waltz love
from the heart
Sun dances a boogie
woogie while
Lorene Cary is Ladysitting
with her Grandmother
Question:
Who brings the beer?
--Nikki Giovanni
Lorene Cary cherished memories from childhood of weekends with her indulgent Nana. Now she and her family spend a year “ladysitting” the frail centenarian. It’s a moving, sometimes funny, journey through secrets, lies, and epiphanies, one that millions of families make each year, as they struggle together to share life--and face death.
