Life goes from Hollywood to Michigan to Mars when Lisa and her family take in her grandmother who has progressive dementia. The Weaver family quickly discovers that she isn’t the only one suffering. The “comicals” of Nora Jo bring a whole new realm of “crazy” to their offbeat but copasetic abode, driving it into full-throttle Darwinian mode. It’s officially “Survival of the Fittest” at the Weaver joint, and even the dogs are contemplating a quiet exit to “the farm.” The question is, how high a price can they pay for this traumatic change? And that’s when this foursome redefines the meaning of “compassion.”
In 2003, Lisa Cerasoli met with Ken Atchity about her screenplay. He said, Sounds like a novel. She started writing while simultaneously leaving for Michigan to care for her Dad. On the Brink of Bliss & Insanity was the result. It won The London & L.A. Book Festivals. As Nora Jo Fades Away, 2010 Paris Book Festival winner, evolved when Lisa & family took in her gram upon diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Lisa refers her documentary, 14 DAYS with Alzheimer's, as the sequel to her memoir.
