    The story of one woman's amazing journey from American tourist to presidential advisor in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. This country, mythical land of the Golden Fleece and once known as the "End of the World," became her world for a time. During earthquakes, the fall of the Soviet Union, and a civil war, this American was admitted into the lives of a passionate people as their nation struggled for its freedom. "I watched the fall of the Soviet Union and its aftermath from this side of the world --the United States-- and the author has helped to fill out my understanding of what went on in Eastern Europe during that time. She has a profound love and appreciation of Georgian culture and people. Reading of her discoveries and work in that country, I feel like I have visited and known the people she describes. The influence she came to have in Georgia, and the things she was able to accomplish, is one for the storybooks, and all true! She gives a closer look at an important leader of the time, Eduard Shevardnadze. Her gift of description, whether observing compelling events or simple ways of life, is immense. It's a wonderful view into an ancient culture and a time that changed the world." ~ Peggy Woodruff, host at Classical 89 BYU

    Bob Wallace had a stellar career, retiring as a Deputy Superintendent in NSW Corrective Services. Shortly after, he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Sarah had the skills to care for her husband, having worked in the UK and Australian health systems but she could not have imagined the nightmare of dealing with the Australian aged care system. Sarah exposes an abusive and broken system, incapable of responding to Bob, or her needs as his carer. The Wallaces were dishonestly tricked into a residentially-based assessment, where Bob was given a drug that acted like 'ICE'. Sarah quickly signed him out. For fourteen months, with love and humour, they managed at home until, needing a break, she was persuaded to put Bob into two-week respite. He would never return home. We follow Sarah and Bob through hospital emergency wards, mental health units and dementia-specific 'homes'. Dismissive, uncaring 'professionals' took control of her husband, restraining him physically and through a cocktail of inappropriate drugs. This left Bob unable to communicate, hastening his death. Sarah's resolution and courage underpin a chronicle of systemic disaster. As she writes, this should never have happened - to anyone.
