From the New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Running in Heels comes âa compassionate, poignant, often humorous story of the complicated relationship between a mother and daughterâ (Mariah Stewart, New York Times bestselling author) as they attempt to rediscover the past before it disappears forever.
Lou Ann Hunterâs mother has always had a passionate nature, which explains why sheâs been married five times and spooned enough male patients to be ousted from three elderly care facilities. She also has Alzheimerâs, which is why she wants to spend the rest of her life surrounded by childhood memories at Sutton Hall, her familyâs decrepit plantation home in Louisiana.
Lou Ann, a.k.a. Lulu the Love Guru, has built an empire preaching sex, love, and relationship advice to the women of Americaâmostly by defying the example her mother has set for her. But with her mom suddenly in need of a fulltime caretaker, Lou Ann reluctantly agrees to step out of the spotlight and indulge her motherâs wishes.
Upon her arrival at Sutton Hall, Lou Ann discovers that very little functions as it shouldâleast of all her motherâs mind. And as she adjusts to this new and inevitably temporary dynamic with the help of a local handyman and a live-in nurse, she is forced to confront the reality that neither her nor her motherâs future is going according to plan.
âFans of Sophie Kinsella and Jane Graves will love Rachel Gibsonâs How Lulu Lost Her Mind, an endearing, funny, and heart-tugging story from the first page to the lastâ (Karen Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author).
