Tom Ryan Jr. is locked up in the Alzheimer's Unit of Peaceful Harbor Nursing Home.
His father, Tom Ryan Sr., died on the 8-by-10-foot Astro Turf in the recreation room of the same nursing home. Sadly, Tom Sr. passed along the Alzheimer's gene to his son, who also wheels himself to that very same plastic green turf every day, as he goes through the identical transformation his father did.
Tom Jr. believes his only lucid thoughts about people, places, and stories are about his life on the golf course.
Still Lost
is a story filled with sarcasm, yet at the same time it is tragic, dark, and redemptive. It tells of the lonely ride taken by the Alzheimer's-afflicted narrator.
The author wrote this novel as a sequel to
Lost in Love Grass,
published in 2010. He has also written a trilogy of children's books:
Bogey the Wonder Squirrel, Dogs Can Fly,
and
The Miracle of Helen the Rabbit.
