Her son, Brian, has kept her at a distance, but when her health begins to fail, he knows it's time to assume responsibility for her care. Her refusal to accept her own fragility leads to a series of outbursts and altercations that are sometimes frightening, sometimes wildly comic, and sometimes both. Tasha is an exploration of what sons learn from their mothers, a look at the task of caring for an elderly parent, and a meditation on the business of trying to honor ourselves without forsaking our parents, and our parents without forsaking ourselves"--Back cover. 541 $d 20220912. 650 $a Large type books. 650 $a Aging parents $v Biography & Memoir. 650 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $v Biography & Memoir. 650 $a Parent and child $v Biography & Memoir. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025053.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230104014451.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0FB6DB9C8C0011EDA40A627456ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
