TEEN BOOK WARNING

This is my official TEEN BOOK warning. I have put it here so that you know about teen books. If you have read a one of my reviews of a teen book and feel like you want to try reading it, please read this. If you are just browsing my blog please read this. I want nothing to do with you getting in trouble for reading a book, so please refer here before blaming me for not waring you.
I review TEEN BOOKS. These books tend to deal with some slightly more mature themes and ideas that are not necessarily what your parent(s) (unless you are a parent, in which case you (Or you're a teacher in which case the parents of your students)) would want you to read. If the authority figure which may be your parent(s), the parents, or you the parent says go for it, have fun, or if you have any questions come to me etc., then fine by me go ahead but as the friendly blogger behind the screen I feel the need to present this information before I delve into the nitty-gritty-fun stuff.

Where The Light Gets In: Losing My Mother Only to Find Her Again by Kimberly Williams-Paisley

Hey guys! I want to share my thoughts on Where The Light Gets In. I recently read this book and found it heartbreaking and sweet at the same time.
Where The Light Gets In is the story of Kimberly Williams-Paisley's mother being diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia, PPA, which is a rare form of dementia. It also chronicles Williams-Paisley's childhood, the start of her career as an actress, and the time after diagnosis which continues to present day.  Her mother's diagnosis, battle, and decline impacted the entire family.  While reading this book my heart was touched. After reading this book I appreciate what I have more than before. I would recommend this book to more advanced readers who are interested in Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Brad Paisley, or mental illness.

 Note from Merlin's Mom:  This is a great read for anyone who has a friend or relative battling dementia of any form.  Great for mother-daughter book clubs! The medical terminology may make reading difficult for less advanced readers.  The story also demonstrates how being beautiful, talented, and famous do not exempt one from dealing with the harsh realities of life.

    I would like to give my condolences to Mrs. Paisley. I recently learned she lost her mother to PPA. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I know you will miss her greatly.
