Berg describes her parents' marriage as a romance that lasted for nearly seventy years; she grew up watching her father kiss her mother upon leaving home, and kiss her again the instant he came back. His idea of when he should spend time away from her was never. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut then Berg's father developed Alzheimer's disease, and her parents were forced to leave the home they loved and move into a facility that could offer them help. It was time for the couple's children to offer, to the best of their abilities, practical advice, emotional support, and direction--to, in effect, parent the people who had for so long parented them. It was a hard transition, mitigated at least by flashes of humor and joy. The mix of emotions on everyone's part could make every day feel like walking through a minefield. Then came redemption. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eI'll Be Seeing You \u003c\/i\u003echarts the passage from the anguish of loss to the understanding that even in the most fractious times, love can heal, transform, and lead to graceful--and grateful--acceptance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Berg\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many bestselling novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Confession Club, Night of Miracles, The Story of Arthur Truluv\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Open House \u003c\/i\u003e(an Oprah's Book Club selection), \u003ci\u003eTalk Before Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Year of Pleasures, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as the short story collection \u003ci\u003eThe Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eDurable Goods \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eJoy School \u003c\/i\u003ewere selected as ALA Best Books of the Year.
