A father facing death. A daughter battling despair. One final year to heal what seemed broken forever.

When Nita Sweeney's 66-year-old father receives a terminal diagnosis, she's drowning in her own darkness, the suicidal depression that has shadowed her for years. What begins as tentative golf outings on central Ohio greens with her father becomes an unexpected lifeline, transforming their strained relationship into something she never imagined possible.

Memorial: The Year My Dad and I Stopped Keeping Score is a searing memoir about the reality of mental illness, conversations we wait too long to have, and connections we assume we've missed our chance to make. As Nita and her father navigate his final months and her recovery--from fairways to hospital rooms to impossible end-of-life decisions--they discover that it's never too late to truly see each other.

Unflinching yet tender, this raw, vulnerable book offers hard-won insights on grief, forgiveness, and what it means to show up for those we love. It's a testament to how a shared passion can bridge even the widest emotional distances.

If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to heal old wounds, this book is your answer.
