Product Description
by James S. Harper (Author)
If you're drawn to the kind of real-life storytelling featured on The Moth or TED-personal, reflective, and quietly transformative-Rewind will speak to you.
As James S. Harper cares for his aging mother during her decline into dementia, he finds himself unearthing long-buried pieces of his own life. Each drawer opened, each paper sorted, brings forgotten memories to the surface-memories shaped by dyslexia, social isolation, and a lifelong sense of being on the outside looking in. What begins as an act of caretaking becomes a journey of self-discovery, culminating in a late-in-life realization that he is on the autism spectrum.
Told in a series of short, vivid reflections, Rewind: A Caregiver's Neurodiverse Life, Frame by Frame is both memoir and meditation. It's a story of memory-what we hold, what fades, and how we come to understand ourselves only by looking back. Through caregiving, Harper uncovers the quiet clues that were there all along.
Rewind is a book for anyone who has felt like an outsider in their own life, for those balancing the weight of caregiving while seeking personal clarity, and for readers who believe the most powerful stories are the ones we live quietly.
