"Before I Forget" book cover

At some point in life, there is a good chance that you might become a caretaker.

“Before I Forget” is the story of life, love, memory loss and all the ups and downs of caregiving. It was inspired by author Tory Henwood Hoen’s own experience with caregiving.

The story follows 26-year-old Cricket. As her father’s Alzheimer's progresses, she decides to make a major life pivot, quitting her job and moving back home to be with him fulltime.

Plus, we hear how one Connecticut organization is working to make audiobooks more accessible for everyone.
