Andrea Couture and Embracing What Remains: A Memoir

Embracing What Remains: A Memoir paired with a glass of red wine from The Prisoner

About the Book: Embracing What Remains is a memoir about a father and a daughter. Richard is a retired surgeon who is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at age 67 and his daughter, Andrea, struggles to accept and process this new fate. Andrea learns how to balance motherhood with daughterhood and embrace a new relationship with a father that is slowly slipping away.

About the Beverage: Andrea says that “wine was an essential part of my family history/memories as well as my Italian heritage. My father loved red wine and was a fan of The Prisoner wine. One of our last memories shopping together was buying this wine for our family Christmas celebration in 2017. He and I had many amazing conversations over a glass of wine and it will always remind me of him and his infinite wisdom.
