Alison kept a journal while caring for her husband Marty after a preliminary ALS diagnosis was later confirmed. The narrative follows the seven-week confirmation and the ten months and ten days that followed, presented in short, sometimes free-verse pieces.

The memoir moves between raw emotional honesty and moments of levity, tracing the shifting roles of spouse, parent and nurse. It examines how family, friends and community respond as children and loved ones face imminent loss.

Accessible and deeply personal, the book offers clear observations on caregiving, grief and the small, intimate rhythms of life at the end of a loved one’s journey.
