About Finding Her Family by Melissa Storm
Title:Â Finding Her Family
Series: Alaskan Hearts #6
Author:Â Melissa Storm
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Kate Griffin can’t believe she’s losing her mother. For as long as she can remember, it’s been the two of them against the world. That is, until early-onset Alzheimer’s robbed them both of the relationship that had always been so special.
Now she’s working as a ranch hand in Anchorage while her mother undergoes treatment at the much acclaimed Memory Ranch. Kate came to keep an eye on her mom, but is left to wonder if she’s the one who really needs to heal. Especially as a certain handsome therapist named Jack keeps finding more and more reasons for them to spend time together.
What will be left of Kate when her mother leaves her behind? And can she justify spending time with Jack when she knows her mom’s time left on earth is limited?
My Review of Finding Her Family:
Finding Her Family by Melissa Storm is little heavier than the previous books in the series. She writes about the issues surrounding caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s well, and I can tell she did some research.
Kate’s struggle between living her life and taking care of her mother is present on every page. And her guilt over not being able to do more is very prevalent.Â
Kate’s mother is determined to not be a burden on her. And she works with her therapist, Jack, to try and convince Kate that she still needs to live for herself as well. But Kate refuses to accept the fact that she can’t do it all, and she is willing to sacrifice anything – even love – for her mother’s care.
As her mother continues to decline, Kate will have to make some major decisions. Will she continue to do it all, or will she put her mother in a care home? Will she allow Jack a place in her heart and her life?
Finding Her Family was a very touching and heartfelt story that is more than just a romance. It’s a story of a family trying to find their new normal and figure out how to navigate the twists and turns of life.
