Nat’s One-Sentence Synopsis: A well-written novel that examines the impact that an illness has on a family.
With a single phone call or the results of a battery of medical testing, life can change in a moment. But a grim diagnosis is just the pebble dropping into the lake; author Katharine Davis examines the effects of the dropped pebble’s ripples.
50-year-old Lacey George’s diagnosis of aphasia, a rare and progressive disease that will rob her of speech, communication, and eventually her life, is not the crux of this novel. Instead, Davis uses the disease as a springboard to create a study of how a devastating illness changes the dynamic of a family.
