The Story of My Father: A Memoir Paperback - 2004
by Sue Miller
With compassion and self-scrutiny, Miller grapples with the haunting memories of the final months she spent caring for her father, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and the larger narrative of her father's life.
From the jacket flap
A "NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
In the fall of 1988, Sue Miller found herself caring for her father, James Nichols, once a truly vital man, as he succumbed to Alzheimer's disease. Beginning an intensely personal journey, she recalls the bitter irony of watching this church historian wrestle with his increasingly befuddled notion of time and meaning. She details the struggles with doctors, her own choices, and the attempt to find a caring response to a disease whose special cruelty is to diminish the humanity of those it strikes. In luminous prose, Sue Miller has fashioned a compassionate inventory of two lives, a memoir destined to offer comfort to all sons and daughters struggling to make peace with their fathers and with themselves.
