Produktbeschreibung
Léonie Rosenstiel, whose mother suffers from Alzheimer's disease, struggles with an implacable, court-appointed guardian against the backdrop of centuries-old family myths and miscommunication. Mama wants their story told, but the courts demand that secrecy enshroud all guardianship records-forever. After years of struggle and Kafkaesque frustration, and with the help of a brilliant, unconventional attorney, Léonie goes to war with the establishment in an attempt to help others find their way through the swamp of legal guardianship. "Léonie is the only person I know who's gotten a judge to lift a court order forbidding her to speak about adult guardianship... I didn't know what adult guardianship was when I started reading this book... I've come to see what a complicated and potentially dangerous minefiled this can be... a fascinating read! It reads almost like a thriller. It's well written... I kept turning the pages to want to know what happened next..." -Jack Canfield, motivational speaker and co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series
