And We Fly Away is the moving story of the punishing, yet extraordinarily graceful, final years in the life of Ray Ashford's wife, Phyllis, a victim of Alzheimer's Disease, and of Ashford's own emergence from sorrow. Marked by the conviction that death is a marvelous beginning and not the end, this poignant work will speak to the hearts of those who are coping with aging and bereavement. Ashford tells his story in spare, poetic prose and includes a "mini-anthology" of helpful and comforting quotations from scripture and literature.

And We Fly Away: Living Beyond Alzheimer's
I tried reading this book after reading Beautiful Boy and I couldn't get through it. This guy's writing was published in Newsweek? Once you get beyond the extremely graphic quality of it, I thought it was terrible. He touts himself as an accomplished writer for his age, yet he uses "amazing" to describe things at least 3 times in the first 50 pages. Come on.
However, it was interesting to read the opposite side of this story after reading Beautiful Boy. Nick is more honest than his father about the root of his problems, but I found it too emotionally heavy and the flashbacks too frenetic. Also, the pseudonym name dropping of stars or famous people that he is/was linked to by 1 or 2 degress becomes annoying.
I'm sure I'm in the minority in my opinion of this book, but I think this book sells itself more on shock value than a well-crafted story.
