Memoir, biography, and outrageous comedy make for a perfect blend in the debut book from acclaimed writer Steve Burgess. Telling the tale of his mother's life and death, and along the way laying bare his own life and struggles, Burgess renders a memorable and deeply moving meditation on life and family. The author's mother, Joan, barely survived her thirteenth birthday: a rare disorder had made it almost impossible for her to swallow food. Her battle to survive this illness was the first in a lifelong sequence of courageous confrontations with her upbringing. As she raised her five children, Joan revealed herself to be a strong and remarkably complex woman. This is her story, but it's also the story of her husband, a charming United Church minister, and their children-including the alarmingly delinquent Steve, who spent much of his adolescence and beyond dropping acid, drinking to excess, and getting in trouble with the law. Which leads him to wonder: was he responsible for his mother's ills and perhaps even her death? Whether he's relating how an ice cream product saved him from a gruesome death on the Trans-Canada, or sizing up the rebranding efforts of a woeful Manitoba motel, or depicting daily life

McLandon Buchanan is married to MaryAnn Kelly. They have eight children and live in Nashville, Tennessee. McLandon sent his five older children to Gallatin, Tennessee, to help his sister, Marie Wingate. Marie is pregnant and is due to have her baby in less than a month. Marie needed help on the Wingate Farm and help with keeping up with her household chores. After a week, Marie sent McLandon a telegram to come get his children. They were more work than help to her. Marie had to teach the three girls basic household chores, and the two boys didn't want to do any barn or fieldwork. The boys kept getting into trouble. After learning that his children didn't know how to do anything useful around the house or farm, he decided to move his family to the country. McLandon and his help man and friend, Amos Burke, were told about a farm in Gallatin that might be exactly what he was looking for. McLandon heard talk of war coming to this country, and he wanted his family to be prepared for when that happened. McLandon wanted his family to be able to preserve the food that they grew and be able to put it in hiding for when war broke out. If they stayed in Nashville, the army would take all the food, and there wouldn't even be food to buy. MaryAnn was in all the high-society clubs and goings on in Nashville to the point that she had spoiled her older children and neglected the three younger ones. She had spoiled her children, letting the domestic help do all the household chores and taking care of the three little ones. McLandon and his family are going to learn to earn a living by the sweat of their brow.

This book is the story of two people who shared a beautiful love for twenty-eight magical years, until an unwelcomed stranger entered their lives and slowly destroyed everything. It was cunning and sinister and hid itself in a deceptive haze, keeping them slightly off balance. They ignored it, they denied it, they fought it. But it was relentless in its pursuit, and finally they succumbed to it. It was then it revealed itself. The predator was the unconquerable Alzheimers Disease. The author has written this story as a tribute to the love of her life; it is the authors hope that this short but meaningful story will give some comfort, support, and insight to those who find themselves in the same situation.

The One I'll Always Remember puts the reader on the front lines and in the operating rooms to experience the dramatic impact on the military care providers who have told their stories. The reader will feel the emotional and psychological trauma of extended combat surgeries, and learn the coping skills, such as avoiding knowing a patient's name or too much personal information, including whether he’s married or has children. These medical personnel save more than 95 percent of all the wounded warriors who come to the field hospitals, yet it's those few who don't make it which haunt them for years--and sometimes forever. The guilt of not being able to save everyone, and of asking if they could have done more. Not knowing their names, but still seeing their faces in haunting memories, even decades later.
