On the Sunday Show this evening writer Kieran J. Coote talks about his new book - Mam and Me - Living a Lifetime in a Day. This is a wonderful heart wrenching story written in a beautifully lyrical way, an ordinary day spent caring for his mother with remembrances of times past, and the lively, vivacious woman she was before her diagnosis of dementia. Alternating between the need to be present in the ‘now’, as he cares for his mother’s needs over a single day, and the story of her life, Kieran creates a timeless record of how the paths of their lives are bound together more tightly than ever before, by love, duty and choice.
