Recipes from Mom: Alzheimer's through the Eyes of a Daughter is a true story of how one woman witnesses the decline of her mother as Alzheimer's disease steals her mom little by little. The one thing that Alzheimer's could not steal was the recipes of the heart, which she learned from her strong and beautiful mother. Giving her the strength to endure, these recipes provided her with each ingredient needed when searching for spiritual wisdom, helping her to persevere and pull through each battle. She recalls the simple moments spent with her mom, reflecting on their conversations and the life choices her mom made. She did not realize that these moments would one day be their saving grace. Over the years, Gaye began to realize this fight would become a war; therefore, she equips herself with the only vice that can win any war, and that is God's word. Gaye journaled, prayed, and learned to listen, enabling her to piece together this emotional journey. This nonfiction narrative illustrates the incredible way in which the light of faith can pierce through the most difficult seasons of darkness by choosing faith over fear and God over self. A true testament to how the sweetest things can arise even when all hope is lost.
