Life and Death at Gangrene Gables: The Year We Lost Our Mom But Found Each Other - Paperback

When Annie Scott discovers her mother has been hiding her sickness, she brings together her siblings to help their ailing mother. Each busy with their own lives, the three siblings need to join forces to handle all that comes with caring for the woman who once cared for them. Annie already felt torn between work and her home life as a wife and mother of four. How will she be able to give her mother the loving care she deserves? As the three siblings keep in touch through text messages, humor ensues. Cleaning, doctor's visits, and more conversations about bodily functions than anyone should ever have become their norm. When their mother's needs increase and everyone's patience wears thin, will their renewed sibling bond be strong enough to endure? Challenging times like this can tear families apart.

This is a raw look at living in the sandwich generation, where faith and humor make the hard realities of life a little sweeter.

This book is a dark comedy about death & dying, elder care, and hospice, which at times makes light of painful situations. While a Christian book, it has some harsher language, including some references to drugs and sex, but no cursing. There are numerous references to body functions and infections.
