Like many daughters of elderly parents Pat MacEnulty finds herself in a maze of healthcare negotiations and surprising discoveries when her mother can no longer care for herself. Pats mother who stood by her through her darkest years was a smalltown icon as a composer pianist organist and musical director. She is suddenly unable to be the accomplished independent person she once was.
