Gingerbread House (formerly Breadcrumbs)
When a reclusive fiction writer is diagnosed with Alzheimers, she must depend on a young, chaotic nursing student to help her write her last book - an autobiography. As the two journey into the dark woods of her past, they explore the nature of language, loneliness, and essential self.
