The Wandering Place

Family secrets cannot hide in the wandering place of dementia.

When Kaye Elliott’s new in-laws hear horses galloping through the hospital and see vagabonds lurking in the attic, she realizes that surviving the Elliotts demands a new set of coping skills. Kaye uncovers a scandal involving her kind, aging father-in-law, William, and his spirited wife, Grace. As remnants of the past seep through the confused minds of her in-laws, Kaye attempts to reconcile a decades-old rumor  of embezzlement, infidelity, and murder with the gentle people she has grown to love. Kaye must navigate through muddled facts and rumored fiction before the past destroys them all.

Blending humor, heartbreak, and hope, The Wandering Place examines the challenges of caring for aging parents, the struggle to find truth within dementia, and the strength of family bonds.
