About the book

“In the fall of 1988, Sue Miller found herself caring for her father as he slipped into the grasp of Alzheimer’s disease. She was, she claims, perhaps the least constitutionally suited of all her siblings to be in the role in which she suddenly found herself, and in The Story of My Father she grapples with the haunting memories of those final months and the larger narrative of her father’s life.

Read the full description

With compassion, self-scrutiny, and an urgency born of her own yearning to rescue her father’s memory from the disorder and oblivion that marked his dying and death, Sue Miller takes us on an intensely personal journey that becomes, by virtue of her enormous gifts of observation, perception, and literary precision, a universal story of fathers and daughters.”
