Gene Everywhere

<p><i><b>For those of us who are aging along with our parents Gene Everywhere is a wonderful companion on this journey. (Brenda Miller author of An Earlier Life)</i></b><br><br>On New Year's Day 2011 without giving the idea full consideration Talya invites her ninety-year-old father-in-law to visit. He needs a temporary place to stay. She needs <i>something</i>. From the moment Gene steps into her kitchen clutching a paper sack filled with medication <b>NOTHING</b> unfolds as she expects. <br><hr>"While often grounded in <i>things</i>—a red sweatshirt a jigsaw puzzle a toothpick 72 ceiling tiles—at its heart <i>Gene Everywhere</i> is about <i>people</i> in their maddening clumsy confounding and ultimately triumphant attempts to connect and enrich each other’s lives... Anyone who has been inspired by an older mentor will love this memoir; anyone who has not will find one in Gene." ~ Dorene O’Brien author of <i>What It Might Feel Like to Hope</i><hr>With the generational wisdom of <i>Tuesdays with Morrie</i> and the charm of <i>A Man Called Ove</i> this story is for adult children everywhere.</p><p> </p>
