Familiar Surroundings

Joseph Scott entered the school of life in February 1990, the younger of two brothers. In this vast classroom of experience, he learned to live, to laugh, to forgive, and to grieve—but love? That was something he was born with. Guided by an innate kindness, Joe navigates adulthood carrying the love he holds for his family, facing the challenges and joys that come with caring for aging parents.  Familiar Surroundings invites readers into Joe's mind as he takes charge of the family unit, wrestles with secrets inadvertently revealed, and learns to accept the mother he adores—a woman whose beauty remains intact even as her mind begins to wander. Experience the tender, unflinching journey of love, loss, and understanding through Joe's eyes.
