The last Cadillac: a memoir

"A wry, heartfelt, and unfiltered account of what happens when life throws you into the deep end armed with nothing but a to-do list, a sense of humor, and a stubborn streak. When Nancy's mother dies and her marriage implodes, she finds herself juggling single motherhood, a grieving father with a penchant for cigarettes and Cadillacs, and a family that accuses her of kidnapping their father. With a voice that's both hilarious and poignant, Sullivan invites you into the chaos of her family's "Adventure"-a move from the gray Midwest to the unpredictable sunshine (and hurricanes) of Florida. Along the way, she wrangles siblings, navigates the minefield of caregiving for a parent with dementia, and tries to keep her kids, her sanity, and her father's last Cadillac all in one piece. Sullivan's memoir is a love letter to resilience, packed with sharp observations, laugh-out-loud moments, and the kind of honesty that makes you feel like you're sitting at her kitchen table, coffee in hand, commiserating over life's messes.
