This book was a great read. It touches on how Alzheimer's effects family members and how it can make or break a family bond. Four people meet at a Alzheimer's support group and end up being best friends and then fall in love. This was a great story from the beginning to the very last page. You will not be able to put this down until you read the very last page.

This romance was so refreshing because all of the main characters were over age 35! Both couples had to undergo serious issues before getting married while caring for their parents. Centering around two siblings who meet their partners in a caregiver's support group. The two couples were African-American and Interracial who grew together and apart throughout this novel. Their stories paralleled each other which made it an enjoyable read.
