How LuLu Lost Her Mind by Rachel Gibson

This sweet little novel is a quick read. The writing style is easy and it almost feels like your reading someone’s journal. The topic, taking care of an ailing parent, is a very realistic occurrence in a person’s life. However, this mother:daughter relationship is a bit different than average, which gives the characters their shine. 

Lulu (the love guru) is the only daughter to Patricia who happens to have a very passionate nature and healing powers, if you count a good cuddle as healing anyway. Mother and daughter have not always met eye-to-eye, have had times when they didn’t speak to one another, but the love was always there. It turns out Patricia has Alzheimer’s and would like Lulu to take her to the family plantation for however long she has left to live. Toss in some mishaps, meet ups, and medicine and what you get is a better understanding of the people you love and cute women’s fiction novel.
