Reach: A Nexus Of Life And Love - 6645

To lose someone once is hard enough—the second time is crushing. A storybook ending is what best-selling author Ernie Resnick had always envisioned for him and his childhood sweetheart, Ava Winkler, a prima ballerina. Now, that possibility has hit a life-altering obstacle. His wife exhibits the earliest signs of Lewy body dementia—her very essence eroding daily before his eyes—and Ernie must contend with the added dread that similar frailties are creeping in on him. Was the catalyst for Ava’s downward spiral her concussion aboard their sailboat or the jogging accident that robbed her of her dancing ability? Having assumed the mantle of Ava’s protector, can Ernie conquer this tenacious, relentless nemesis in time to rescue his beloved and preserve their last tango together? Reach chronicles how devotion can defy all odds before the final grains of sand slip away to the bottom of the hourglass. Fans of The Notebook and Still Alice, and readers who have been impacted in any way by dementia, will connect with Ernie and Ava’s lifelong love affair. The inspiration to recognize those who fight that battle to its devastating, strength-sapping conclusion is complemented perfectly by Dan Fogelberg’s moving lyrics—nuggets of references that are embedded throughout. This saga commemorates those earthly angels, the caregivers whose dedication employs unmatched grit and compassion in coping with their loved ones’ protracted illnesses.
