His fortysomething son Blake is a travel writer with commitment issues who pops by between trips to try to hold his family together and prove his worth. Over seven years, Donald experiences the onset of dementia, and father and son become both closer and farther apart. This story of familial bonds provides delightfully comical and satisfyingly sentimental clarity in those small moments that will last forever."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Donald Wellner knew success when he wrote a hit play thirty-five years ago, but now he's recently separated, living in a small apartment, and promising that he's trying to start a new script.
