The novel is described as a mystery story with twists and turns that offers a unique perspective on social class, invisible professions, and the need for human connection.
Each kit is designed to help people who are in different stages of decline and include activities, games, puzzles and workbooks that encourage social connection and provide meaningful links to daily activities. The kits are inspired by two public libraries in Ontario, the Burlington Public Library and Halton Hills Public Library. In partnership with the local library, Northern Health and the Alzheimer Society of BC and using a $6,000 grant from the United Way of Northern BC the kits were created with three additional kits donated to the local branch of the Alzheimer Society. Last fall a dozen library staff members attended a day-long training session to learn more about dementia and memory loss. The training came from concepts found at Dementiability.com.
