Early onset dementia is a shock and a challenge to every family, but the Wards were not an ordinary family. Ross Ward was an eccentric artist and collector whose unique museum, Tinkertown, brought visitors from all over the world to the Sandia Mountains outside Albuquerque. In this book Tanya tells Ross's story and her own, sharing the tragedy and the unexpected comedy of caring for this funny, stubborn man who remained a talented artist even as he changed before his family's eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Goodman writes beautifully. The characters are well drawn, compelling, and convincing. Most importantly, the book has genuine emotional power, which builds as the story unfolds, even though how it will end is understood from the beginning.\"--Frank Huyler, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Blood of Strangers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTanya Ward Goodman\u003c\/b\u003e's essays have appeared in the \u003ci\u003eCup of Comfort \u003c\/i\u003eanthology series, \u003ci\u003eLiterary Mama\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Huffington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, and TheNextFamily.com.
