Gene, Everywhere · A Life-Changing Visit From My Father-In-Law

On New Year's Day 2011, without giving the idea full consideration, Talya invites her ninety-year-old father-in-law to visit. He needs a temporary place to stay. She needs *something*. From the moment Gene steps into her kitchen clutching a paper sack filled with medication, **NOTHING** unfolds as she expects.

"While often grounded in *things* —a red sweatshirt, a jigsaw puzzle, a toothpick, 72 ceiling tiles—at its heart *Gene, Everywhere* is about *people* in their maddening, clumsy, confounding, and ultimately triumphant attempts to connect and enrich each other’s lives... Anyone who has been inspired by an older mentor will love this memoir; anyone who has not will find one in Gene." ~ Dorene O’Brien, author of *What It Might Feel Like to Hope*

With the generational wisdom of *Tuesdays with Morrie* and the charm of *A Man Called Ove* , this story is for adult children everywhere.
