“Untethered: A Caregiver’s Tale” : Review
As fiction, I was expecting a deep, dark story about the drama in the world of dementia and the sadness in the world of its caregivers. Instead, this novel comes from a happy (and sometimes hysterical) place where life is about living it with joy no matter your age or circumstance.
A delightful tale about the life of Tom Conklin, a middle-aged man who finds his own correct way whether it’s caregiver for a father who denies dementia or a new younger wife in search of “motherhood” for herself and, coincidentally, “fatherhood” for Tom.
Along the way Tom finds his own path to coping with an anxious mom and fractured neighbor with his very own means of escape.
A pleasure to read, this Novel will leave you in a happy place for sure! Sandy
