Summary:"Despite Maud's growing anxiety about Elizabeth's welfare, no one takes her concerns seriously -- not her frustrated daughter, not her caretakers, not the police, and especially not Elizabeth's mercurial son -- because Maud suffers from dementia. But even as her memory disintegrates and she becomes increasingly dependent on the trail of handwritten notes she leaves for herself in her pockets and around her house, Maud cannot forget her best friend. Armed with only an overwhelming feeling that Elizabeth needs her help, Maud resolves to discover the truth -- no matter what it takes."--Book jacket.
