The Memory Bracelet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781685136390)

When college sophomore Tessa Wilde visits her Alzheimer's-stricken grandmother Esther, a shocking secret slips out, one that threatens Tessa's identity and raises old feelings of betrayal and rejection. The only way to pursue the truth, though, is to explore those unreliable memories.

But can she separate Esther's ramblings of a storied past from the effects of Alzheimer's?

Relying on Grandmother's stories that live in the charms of her beloved bracelet, Tessa pushes her grandmother to reveal the truths that have been hidden for too long. As Esther's health deteriorates and communication fails, Tessa faces the ultimate question: can she forgive Grandmother for half-spilled secrets and an unreconciled relationship? And face the fact that they're more alike than they are different?

Perfect for fans of Barbara Davis and Kristan Higgins, The Memory Bracelet is a gripping yet heartwarming novel about the pain resulting from complicated relationships, carried from one generation to the next, and the fierce determination to heal them.
