Intermission for Reverend G

Book excerpt: Three months after a fire ripped through Cove Creek Assisted Living Facility, repairs are complete, but even as Reverend G and her cat, Gabriel move back into their apartment, the retired pastor realizes life just isn't the same. She continues to minister to her fellow residents - the widower who reads the same book over and over and the woman who waits by the front door for the family who never arrives. Even Gabriel is back at work, making his rounds and forecasting death. But while Reverend G is able to find the words to conduct a funeral service, anticipates the birth of her first grandchild and plans her future with her beloved, Chris, she battles her worsening Alzheimer's symptoms - memory loss, paranoia, anger and fear. Now, her worst nightmare seems to be coming true. God hasn't spoken to her in weeks. Has Reverend G lost her connection with God?
