Written by Linda A. Gerdner & Jacqueline A. Witter; Illustrated by Amy Bunnell Jones

An enduring story of family love and Alzheimer’s disease embedded in the rich Jamaican culture. Amancia has recently learned that her beloved Grandma has Alzheimer’s disease.

Amancia and Mother help to build upon Grandma’s preserved abilities such as singing hymns, keeping her Bible close, and enjoying regional fruits and traditional family meals. Grandma is treated with respect and love. In addition, Grandma’s dog, Calypso shows his faithful and protective nature when he senses something is wrong with Grandma. Calypso becomes an important companion to Grandma. The love and happiness in the final scene is palpable.
