When JoAnn began exhibiting signs of Alzheimer's, she'd been estranged from her daughter, Robert's mother Jessica, for decades. As her disease progressed, JoAnn lost most of her memories, but she also forgot her old wounds and anger. She became a happy, gentler person who was finally able to reach out to her daughter in what became a strangely life-affirming experience, an unexpected blessing that gave a divided family a second chance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Leleux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250022339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250022332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Robert Leleux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444468986111,"sku":"9781250022332","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_856e5a61-5432-4fed-b5b9-4312985853fe.jpg?v=1777212485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-living-end-robert-leleux-9781250022332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
