Eloise Bruce and David Keller are poets and for many years they have written about our life both separately and together. This book is a result of a journey that began in earnest when David's Uncle George was diagnosed with a very rare form of dementia called CADASIL, cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy. It is one of those inherited diseases that run in families: If one parent has it, there is 50% chance their child will have it. The trajectory of the disease was not identified before George Keller was diagnosed, though it is certain the gene had been passed down for a very long time. However, David's grandmother and his father died in their fifties before their symptoms presented.
