Sixty-eight-year-old Stanton Beecher is an unhappy soul. For all his life, he has been the rock of his family. But as the former police detective prepares to move to an assisted care facility where he will spend his remaining days, Stan knows everything is about to change—and not for the better.In recent years, Stan has become an expert at denying all the signs that something is wrong. Now, as he reluctantly enters a new chapter fueled by the ravages of Alzheimer’s, Stan vacillates between his memories and the present while his children travel down a disheartening road where they must try to do the right thing for their father. Guided by faith, intuition, and unconditional love, both children and father press on as they all attempt to find a way to preserve the one thing that matters most to Stan: his dignity.Last Days is the poignant story of one family’s struggle as they deal with the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s and learn that only love will survive this battle.
