GOODBYE, VITAMIN

Recovering from a breakup with her boyfriend, Ruth Young returns to her childhood home for one year to help care for her father, who is losing his memory. Thérèse Plummer’s narration captures each character’s unique voice and emotion, including sarcasm, anger, and humor, all showcased in wonderfully exaggerated tones. As her stay becomes one of self-discovery, Ruth reacquaints herself with family members and other people. Men and women, young and old cross Ruth’s path, creating new experiences for her and putting new spins on her memories, requiring Plummer to express a vivid range of emotions. This is a wonderful story for those who have experienced dementia in a loved one. E.B. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2017]
