    About Sticky Notes

    For fans of Counting by 7s and Fish in a Tree, a touching story about the power of love and family in the face of a parent’s early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

    Foster Sumner is ten years old. He likes toy soldiers, tadpole hunting, going to school, and the beach. Best of all, he likes listening to his dad’s stories.

    But then Foster’s dad starts forgetting things. No one is too worried at first. Foster and Dad giggle about it. Dad goes out for milk and comes back with cat food, when the cat has been dead for five years. But then the forgetting gets worse. And suddenly no one is laughing anymore.

    A heartbreaking story about what it means to forget and to be forgotten, as well as the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s and the strong families behind those who suffer from it.

    “Heartbreakingly realistic.” —SLJ

    “Touchell presents honest, believable characters in this heart-wrenching account of one family’s attempt to cope with an unexpected life-altering event.” —Bulletin

    “Heartwarming, heartbreaking and honest…a great family read.” —The Monitor
