Slipping Through My Fingers
Maggie is disappearing. The sharp, stubborn, impossible woman Lou has spent a lifetime trying to understand is slipping away, piece by piece. As Alzheimer’s takes hold, Maggie struggles with losing the grip on herself, while Lou struggles to balance grief, resentment, and the fear of what’s coming. then there's Amelia, Lou’s daughter, trying to keep the pieces of their family together.

Their relationship was never easy—Maggie always had a sharp tongue, and Lou never forgot a wound. But now, as roles reverse and Lou becomes the caretaker, old battles mix with new heartbreaks.

Spanning a lifetime—from childhood tantrums to teenage rebellion, motherhood to final goodbyes—Slipping Through My Fingers is a funny, heartfelt, and deeply moving story about love, loss, and the seemingly impossible task of letting go.
