Annette Januzzi Wick longs to find the perfect care home for her proud, Italian mother, who is slipping further into dementia. In her memoir, Annette shares gripping truths about the mistakes she makes before ultimately finding a place where her mother develops a crush, heckles an Elvis impersonator, and magically bonds with her daughter through Frank Sinatra's songs. Whether she is breaking up a fight between her mother and the Easter Bunny, advocating for her mother to avoid a tracheotomy, or struggling to duplicate her mother's cookie recipes, Annette tries to balance the trials with the triumphs of being a daughter-and caregiver. But can she and her mother love without memory-or regret? I'll Have Some of Yours is for anyone who longs to move past being a caregiver to find a deeply human and humane connection with someone you love.
Finding Life?After Life As You Know It Ends What happens when all you wanted becomes yours and then, like the receding tide, begins to slip away? That's the question Annette Wick was forced to answer when her young husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness. What would become of their idyllic marriage? Their infant son? Her dream home on the Oregon coast? This inspiring story traces Annette's brave adventure into the dark valley of despair and back again to the warm sunshine of hope. Told in the voice of a poet, I?ll Be in the Car is, ultimately, a story of joy and triumph. Take this journey and discover for yourself that when life as you know it ends, there's still an abundance of life to be lived.
