About this listen

The Journey Home is a novel narrated through 35 engaging vignettes involving a son’s relationship with his parents during their final year of life. Using amplified recollections vivid dreams, and impressionistic flashbacks, The Journey Home leads the listener on an amazing pilgrimage of discovery and healing.

Starting with the onset of his mother’s Alzheimer’s and proceeding through the eventual admission of both his parents to a nursing home, The Journey Home explores the complex and intimate process of evolving relationship in the final passage of life.

Immersing the listener in the experience of caring for someone facing physical decline and dementia, this heartfelt story offers encouragement for all caregivers. Told with the imagination and humor, each vignette invites the listener to understand the bittersweet emotions that are part of grieving and healing. Through making honest connections with the past and present, the Journey narrative demonstrates how life-altering challenges can be faced with openness, dignity, and grace.
