Heather's Stories Inspire Compassionate Leadership, Healing and Self-Acceptance

A raw and redemptive memoir about an unexpected second chance. 

Having a difficult and tumultuous relationship with her father—a cunning con artist and romance scammer with criminal ties and a long trail of betrayal--she never imagined she'd become one of his main caregivers at the end of his life. But when Lewy Body Dementia took hold, something even more surprising happened: she met the man behind the mask.

Told with unflinching honesty, bittersweet humor, and deep compassion, this is the story of how a daughter came to know, forgive, and even love the one man she never thought she could. In the heartbreak of his decline, she found what she’d always longed for—the love of a dad.

This story is for those who have had to be the reluctant caregiver to a difficult family member, or for those who've had to watch the deteriorating brain of dementia slowly take away a loved one.

It invites you to see dementia from a new perspective — where love and compassion can emerge even in the most tragic circumstances and even with those family members who make you want to pull your hair out.

Heather's journey with her father shows that dementia can truly become a gift rather than a curse, filled with healing, laughter and forgiveness.
