Tara and her parents go to visit her grandparents in Kansas. However, when she gets there she realizes that her grandmother really isn't the same as she used to be. Her grandma struggles with dementia and can't seem to remember anyone, not even her own husband. That night her grandma passes away, and Tara must deal with the grief of losing someone so special to her.
I fidgeted impatiently in the backseat of the car, excited as much by the prospect of an end to our long ride from California to Kansas as by the thought of seeing my grandparents again.
