Awake - Paperback

by Nancy Johnson (Author)

Nancy Johnson's novella Awake provides a glimpse into life at a nursing home when too much prescribed medication drives nursing home resident Frances into a zombie-like stupor. The retired microbiologist takes a bold stand. She doesn't know it then, but when she dares to defy her doctor's wishes and ditches offending medication, she sets off a whole new kind of revolution among aging boomers at Forest Home and beyond. Awake is a sometimes poignant, often irreverent story about retired rockers kicking bad drugs, and finding life, not just existence, in long-term care.
