When dementia takes hold, is it possible to navigate between forgetting and letting go to find love and reconciliation?

Through anecdotes, memorable conversations and heartfelt reflections, Samuel Ng (黄明德 ), a veteran social worker and founder of Montfort Care, shares his experience of caring for his mother with dementia and how the experience brought his family closer together.

This book encapsulates the many dilemmas he faced and the different stages of his emotional growth, from awareness to forgiveness, appreciation and finally joy.
