Many know Kimberly Williams-Paisley as the bride in the
popular Steve Martin remakes of the Father of the Bride
movies, the calculating Peggy Kenter on Nashville, or the
wife of country music artist, Brad Paisley. But behind the
scenes, Kim was dealing with a tragic secret: her mother,
Linda, was suffering from a rare form of dementia that
slowly crippled her ability to talk, write and eventually
recognize people in her own family. Where the Light Gets In tells the full story of Linda’s
illness—called primary progressive aphasia—from her
early-onset diagnosis at the age of 62 through the present
day. Kim draws a candid picture of the ways her family
reacted for better and worse, and how she, her father and
two siblings educated themselves, tried to let go of shame
and secrecy, made mistakes, and found unexpected humor and
grace in the midst of suffering. Ultimately the bonds of family were strengthened, and Kim
learned ways to love and accept the woman her mother became.
With a moving foreword by actor and advocate Michael J. Fox,
Where the Light Gets In is a heartwarming tribute to the
often fragile yet unbreakable relationships we have with our
mothers.
