1 part Complete

Imagine your world becoming more and more unfamiliar, yet you're surrounded by things you've known your entire life. Sal Pitello is a middle-aged, Italian news writer, who spots an article about Mary-ann, a woman suffering from Alzheimer's that is found on a stoop four blocks from home. After meeting with Allan, Mary-ann's husband, he agrees to let Sal tell her story. Knowing that it is a brain crushing and memory devouring disease, Sal is encouraged to learn more about who this woman was and the impact she had on her community. Sal's life is turned upside down in the pursuit of helping a family and community to look at Alzheimer's through a different lens. He gets caught up in the emotion, becomes part of the family and eventually watches Mary-ann and a young boy develop an incredible friendship. About two years ago, my grandmother was diagnosed with this vicious disease. This novel is also an extremely vague representation of me and my extended family.
