WINNER OF THE 2023 IRE BOOK AWARD

The dramatic story of hundreds of senior citizens left in the path of a ferocious firestorm and what the quest for accountability reveals about the increasing risks to our most vulnerable population.

“A harrowing saga that pits corporate pusillanimity against dogged courage under the most difficult circumstances...in Belden and Gullixson’s gripping esposé. There’s cowardice in this dramatic narrative, but at heart it’s about ordinary people displaying extraordinary grace under extreme pressure, all conveyed in intense, atmospheric prose.... The result is a moving re-creation of a nightmarish disaster that tested the character of all those in its path.” —Kirkus starred review

“…a powerful work of investigative journalism about a particularly vulnerable segment of the population…. Alongside an engrossing account of the emergency as it unfolded in Sonoma County, Belden and Gullixson provide a definitive account of management’s woefully inadequate response at the two sister facilities. Their findings are a lesson to other care facilities—here’s what not to do.” —San Francisco Chronicle

To come to terms with her mother’s dementia, writer Suzanne Finnamore’s groundbreaking new memoir conceptualizes dementia as an actual, albeit rather magical, place, “like the Acropolis or Yonkers…a place where beloved and ancient queens and kings retire, where linear time doesn’t exist, and the rules of society are laid aside…. Whenever I go to my parents’ double-wide in Hayward, California, I am really traveling to Dementia.”

“I love @sfinnamore’s new book, “My Disappearing Mother.” —@Annelamott on X
