Kathleen loved to write. Well, she did until Al came to stay. Kathleen has Alzheimer’s Disease.
Miranda, her eldest child, is struggling. Carla, her middle child, is trying her best. Alex, her youngest, is not sure of anything anymore. Every day their mother is becoming more and more out of their reach.
Do their memories still count if their mother can no longer share them? And will Al succeed in tearing them apart or can it bring them closer?
Lisa Pancucci’s Just Call Me Al follows the journey of one family facing the impact of this disease. Told with courage, humour and compassion, it is a story of love, loss and the ability to endure.
She is still here. We have a lot left of her.
We can still hold her hand and make her laugh.
