Samenvatting:

Earl Hadley, an insightful and proficient handyman, takes a job with The Blue Lakes Memory Care Center; this choice endears him to the challenging world of dementia and Alzheimer’s care, exposing him to the disease’s devastating effects on the residents and their family members. Earl is challenged and pulled in myriad ways as he empathetically befriends the community’s lively residents, all the while trying to overcome his own cathartic struggle to accept the reality of his father’s suicide note that he has received fifteen years after the fact. His witness of the resident’s plight at Blue Lakes could give him the needed acceptance of life’s unpredictable journey, and allow him to become a vibrant presence in the last chapters of the resident’s lives.
