Thank you to LibraryThing, Joseph Falank and BHC Press for the ability to read this advanced copy of Renewal.
Renewal follows Malcolm, a high-school English teacher, writer and son of Dennis who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and is currently being taken care of by his other son, Randy. When Malcolm receives a phone call from Randy about their father's health status, he drops everything to help and plan for his father's future. Their mother Nora, passed away two years ago from Lung Cancer which makes this all harder on both brothers.
Renewal is about forgiveness, death, and renewal of their lives after heartbreak. Joseph Falank writes about Alzheimer's so well and it is absolutely heartbreaking at times. I have had multiple family members who have suffered from the disease and Joseph lays out Malcolm's experience with such finesse. Malcolm takes the experience of taking care of his father, after 2 years of not speaking to him, and changes his perspective on a lot of things. He slowly makes amends with not only his father, but with the mistakes, he has made in his life. Despite being a shorter novel, the character growth from Malcolm is evident.
I was invested in this book from the very beginning. The way that Falank wrote this novel, feels like Malcolm was telling me the story in person. It all flowed so nicely and kept me interested and wanting to know more as the story went on. Renewal overall did an amazing job at telling the story of family, Alzheimer's, and renewal.… (altro)

Wow! This book was amazing! So glad I was able to read it.
The author takes us in a journey through the disease of Alzheimer’s. The ups and downs are both hopeful and heartbreaking. Malcolm and Randy (the sons) are reunited in their efforts to take care of their father through the disease. From the beginning to the ending they are united in doing what’s best.
Please read this amazing book!
