Description
In Today I Belong to Agnes Glen Sorestad chronicles the final years of an elderly parent, the journey from independence through increasing levels of care. He reveals the human side of the transition – the move from the family home, the eccentric sisterhood of a care home’s residents, and the fragile thread of memory that supports life.
