Charlie and his wife have vowed to love and care for one another 'til death do they part. But after ten years of caring for a brilliant husband whose mind is now confused, frustrated and childlike, Charlie's wife finds herself in totally foreign territory. Charlie is hospitalized and his condition now mandates placement in the Memory Care Unit of a local skilled nursing facility. With a sense of poignancy, passion and humor, Charlie's wife gradually begins to understand the dynamics of the Memory Care Unit of the House in which her husband now resides. What she observes both stuns and amazes her. With a manner of trust toward staff and a personal motivation to provide the best life possible for Charlie, Charlie's wife learns that family takes many different forms. FLIES IN THE FAN is told from the viewpoint of three people, Charlie's wife, Will's wife and Annie's husband. It is not a comfortable story. It is a real story, with raw emotions and vivid descriptions of a life that no one anticipates. Readers who dare to confront their personal feeling will find both a sense of wonder at the brave and adaptive residents and feelings of awe toward staff who daily provide a sense of community to those for which the society known to us has become a foreign environment.
