Off the top of my head, I remember <b>Not My Daughter</b>, <b>Family Tree</b>, and <b>While My Sister Sleeps</b>, but my favorite was <b>Shades of Grace</b>. It's one of her older books that's been re-released, and probably the only I remember with any clarity, even though I read it back in the 1990s.<br /><br /><b>Shades of Grace</b> is about a strong woman running a business, her daughter, and her granddaughter. Grace is the grandmother, and she has Alzheimer's. Her daughter doesn't want to admit it, and Grace has managed to hide it so far. I read the book about the time my mother's Alzheimer's was diagnosed, and this was the first book I'd ever noticed where the main character had AD (Alzheimer's Disease).<br /><br />Delinsky has written scores of books -- Barnes & Noble has ten pages of her books at 30 to a page, though there are several editions of some novels. So you might simply want to look down a list and see how many stars a book has from its reviewers. She's a consistent writer, for the most part, with books that satisfy me while I'm reading them -- and then I forget them, except for <b>Shades of Grace</b>.Bonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.com
