This is her first venture into fiction, impelled by her husband suffering from Alzheimers, together with the realisation that in todays ageing society, many young people are encountering family members with dementia. Although several incidents in this book have been inspired by real situations, Debbie, the central child character, is not based on any of her eight grandchildren.
Pat spends much of her time discussing books and history with groups near where she now lives in Norfolk, and playing the keyboard (badly!) to accompany some local singers. Her main function in life is to be a slave to her cat, Maddie, who seems to spend most of the time sitting on her lap!view less
