Sun Seekers (by Rachel McRady)

This is a touching story that focuses on dementia and family relationships. The book is presented in the voice of six-year-old Gracie, her mother, and her estranged father. The character development of Gracie was a little unrealistic. The subject matter of dementia is a difficult one to address and the attempt of Gracie’s mom, LeeAnn, to explain the grandfather’s illness demonstrates how difficult it can be. And when you factor in the fact that Gracie’s parents’ marriage is falling apart, there is so much emotional baggage to be dealt with. This is not a light and easy read and there were many aspects that did not appeal to me. But I would definitely encourage you to consider reading it to see if you connect better with the characters and the story line.
