The Knicely Sisters Pact

The three Knicely Sisters make a pact that each of them will commit to six months of being a caregiver for their eighty-five year old Great Aunt, Miss Priscilla Brownlee, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. None of them realizes what they have gotten themselves into. Tabitha is the first to discover that her Great Aunt can disappear in the seven minutes it takes her to shower, and Miss Priscilla is really fast as she visits a house she believes to be hers where she sits on the porch. The homeowner, Marcus Whittington, baffled by this elderly Senior Citizen, once he meets her caregiver, threatens Tabitha to have her Great Aunt removed by the police due to neglect. As he becomes better acquainted with the situation and this beautiful woman, Tabitha and her Great Aunt, soon learns the stress under which Tabitha is attempting to live. Marcus seems to place himself in situations where he becomes a rescuer as the listener will see as they follow along with the audiobook. Although the story ends on a good note, will Marcus be satisfied when he no longer needs to be the knight in shining armor?

Marcus's patience and tabatha's thoughtfulness.

Alzheimer’s

Great story, it spoke to my culture. The charters were realistic. Well rounded in regard’s to today’s living experiences. Looking forward to the next episode.

Very enlightened!

Beautifully written story, heartfelt and I’ve learned a lot about being a caregiver through the eyes of the author.

Reality

This story really touches on the hardships of being a caregiver it was hard to listen to some parts as I am a caregiver as well . I love that it showed the good and the bad and it showed the difficult decisions you have to make while being a caregiver .
