Funny, the difference a few hours can make. At 4:30 P.M., Frank Reynolds still has a sense of accomplishment and control. By five o'clock, he's lost his job of twenty-two years. By six o'clock, he's learned of his father's Alzheimer's disease. An hour-and-a-half is all it has taken to turn Frank's world upside down, thrusting him and his family onto a path none of them could ever have expected. painful implications of unemployment and his father's illness. For Pap, it means facing the heartbreaking realities of the affliction that is stealing his mind. For Frank's high-school-graduate son, it consists of finding his own path in life despite his father's disapproval.

This is a really fantastic story that on the surface explores the challenges facing a family with a loved one suffering from dementia. Even though the setting itself is a bit dated, the family dynamics are very real and believable and I had no trouble overlooking some of the outdated references. The characters are well developed and many of them are dealing with real-life issues that really ring true.

While there are a few moments when things are a bit predictable, the plot for the most part flows nicely with a few little surprises. Despite his obvious flaws, I found myself really relating to Frank, the main character, in several ways and rooting for him the way a good story makes you want to do.

The final pages of the book are very touching and wrap up the tale with a very satisfying ending. McCusker has spun a story full of likable characters and lots of heart that will leave you with a new appreciation for life and the ones you spend it with. ( )
