About this listen

In Get in the Boat, Darlene Fuchs shares the powerful and poignant story of her father Richard's experience as a caregiver to his wife Gail during her decline into dementia.

This memoir, based on the journals of Richard Sonnichsen, is a heart-wrenching yet inspiring exploration of the enduring power of love, faith, and resilience in the face of life's most difficult challenges.

Through Richard's journey, Darlene offers valuable insights into the joys and struggles of long-term relationships, the complexities of caring for a loved one with dementia, and the spiritual strength that can sustain us through the most trying of times.

With raw honesty, emotional depth, and a compassionate voice, this memoir is a testament to the enduring power of love and the strength of the human spirit.
