"In 2002 Brian Eriksson made the brave decision to take his stroke-injured mother out of a frail care facility and care for her at home.
His book is a tribute to his courageous mother and a tale of inspiration for any adult child who has to care for a frail parent.
"With next to no experience I have jumped into the deep end," he writes. "If I fail, Ma will have to go back to frail care."
He doesn't fail and Ma shows a determination that enables her to participate in the home, wheeling herself around in the chair. She is not house-bound and takes a cruise to Cape Town, makes visits to Johannesburg, the game reserve, mountains, beach, movies, shows, ashrams, churches and temples. She can't talk — but she rules the roost.
She can draw and produces more than a hundred drawings in five years and the book has 170 colour images of Ma's drawings and Eriksson's paintings.
Eriksson shows love, compassion and patience in spades but the book is written in an engagingly warm tone by a man who is son, nurse, cook, chauffeur and more.
Ma inevitably declines in physical health and Eriksson finds inspiration in Eastern philosophies, but also draws on Christian, Muslim and Zulu concepts."
