About this book
"An evocation of a grown daughter's close attachment to her mother, and of both women's strength and resiliency, "I Remain in Darkness" recounts Annie's attempts first to help her mother recover from Alzheimer's disease, and then, when that proves futile, to bear witness to the elder woman's gradual decline and her own experience as a daughter losing a beloved parent."--BOOK JACKET.
