Twain has always been able to work a room. He's also good at avoiding the room where his mother progresses more deeply into Alzheimer's, thanks to the live-in care he is able to hire. When it seems likely that her battle is almost over, he puts his career as a celebrity astronomer on hold to be with her. She takes longer to surrender than anticipated, however, so he teaches a solar astronomy class at the local community college to help pass the time. And as with everything he encounters during his stay, whether it's the loss of a loved one or the possibility of new love, the experience is both more difficult and more beautiful than he imagined.
