The Last Tear: A Novella Inspired by True Events

"The elderly lady in this story is my mom, " states the author, M.A.S. McCool. "She had always been very sharp and possessed a great memory, but then a series of incidents caused the family to begin questioning her mental acuity. As she declined further, Mom created her own stories when she could not remember events or did not recognize people she had known for years." In this short memoir, M.A.S. McCool takes readers through the final years of her mother's life, recalling the events-some humorous but most distressingly sad-that her mother and family members went through as dementia took control over her mother and finally won life's ultimate battle.
