Devin Hillis is a struggling documentary filmmaker who stumbles onto the story of a lifetime while interviewing subjects at an Arizona retirement home. One of the employees―a seemingly ordinary young woman named Treha Langsam―has no family and little memory of her childhood. She does, however, possess an extraordinary gift for connecting with dementia patients. Even more gripping is the story that begins to unravel when a cryptic letter from one of the home’s residents reveals clues to Treha’s shrouded past, setting into motion a chain of events that captures national interest.

From Booklist
Devin Hillis makes documentaries about the elderly. The shorter ones are played at funerals as tributes to the deceased. Devin’s prize project, however, is a major documentary featuring the residents at Desert Gardens, an assisted-living facility. The problem is, Devin doesn’t have the heart to collect his fees from bereaved family members, and his big project isn’t finished, so basically, he has almost no income. With his landlord threatening eviction, and his partner wanting out, Devin still believes in his documentary. As Devin continues to film at Desert Gardens, he notices Treha Langsam, an unremarkable-looking woman deeply engaged in conversations with the residents, most of whom seem hopelessly uncommunicative. Treha, the product of foster homes, is a whisperer, and somehow has been blessed with the ability to communicate with those with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Writing in his trademark lyrical style, Fabry (Borders of the Heart, 2012), spins a poignant tale about our society’s invisible seniors and the woman and man who see their potential. --Shelley Mosley
From the Back Cover
“Our stories intertwine in ways we can’t know when we first hear them. And maybe the point of all this is that we’d do well to listen.”
Treha Langsam is a mysterious young woman who has fallen through the cracks, much like many of the elderly people she works with at Desert Gardens. But Miriam Howard, director of the assisted-living facility, sees her extraordinary gift and untapped potential. Treha is a whisperer of sorts, calling those who have slipped into dementia back to a life of vibrant, if only temporary, clarity.
When a documentary team stumbles onto Treha’s story, her gift is discovered and the search for answers about her past begins. As the truth slowly unravels, Treha and those around her must each tackle a difficult question: if this is as good as life gets, is that enough?
With authentic characterizations and riveting prose, bestselling author Chris Fabry delivers an uplifting, human tale of an ordinary woman with an extraordinary gift.

Review from a Man's Perspective
By Libraryboy
I often spend a lot of time reviewing the newest books set to be published. I do this so that I can bring you some of the best books for my column here in the Book Fun Magazine. As I was looking over the books coming out soon, an email come across my desk about a Book Fun Chat that was going on that involved Chris Fabry. I have been fascinated with his work since I read his book, "Not In The Heart". I do a fair amount of reading (insert laugh here) and there aren't many that I can say cause me to finish the book right from the moment I crack the book open. That book was one of them. I picked this book up during the chat that night with Chris Fabry over on the Book Fun Network hoping that he was able to recreate that feeling in me again.
There's something special going on over at Desert Gardens Retirement Home. Their longtime director, Miriam Howard, is being forced out of her position and into retirement. As Miriam ponders retired life, she begins to reflect on her relationship with her husband. What will it be like to be home with him every day, especially when things between them cause her to feel more as an acquaintance rather than a family. Devin and Jonah are documenting stories of some of the residents that live at the facility. Their goal is to create memories of these residents, and insight into their lives and stories that we will one day never have a record of. The young cleaning lady, Treha, is seemingly bringing some of the residents back from living in a fog with their illnesses. Patients who seem to be lost in the abyss of Dementia or Alzheimer's are communicating with her, after years of not being able to communicate with anyone. As the lives of these individuals begin to intersect, a secret from one of the residents causes the group to band together to discover the truth. A new director at the retirement home is making lots of changes, changes that may disrupt all that the residents life for. Will Miriam and her husband find common ground during her retirement? Will the documentaries ever make it to the big screen? What secret is hiding in Treha's background, and what does she know about it? You will never know the answers, but I will, unless you go BUY THE BOOK!!!
There are a lot of stories going on in this book. I say that to point out just what a great writer Chris Fabry is to be able to juggle these different stories but make sure that they flow together throughout the book and combine seamlessly at the end. I'm not normally a fan or flashbacks or scenes taken outside the normal progression of a story, but the way Chris was able to weave the shooting of the documentary into the book was pretty amazing. As has been true of his last couple of books, Chris paints such vivid descriptions of the surroundings and settings in the book. I truly feel as if he has transported me to that specific location while I'm reading the story, almost as if I'm watching a video of it rather than reading it.
Is this a "guy's book"? I will admit that this book doesn't have the traditional "grunt, grunt" man flavor, but I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that this is a great book. No cars explode, no bombings, no high seas adventure (there is some gun appearances if that helps). But what this book does offer is a truly great read and tells a story that everyone should take a minute to enjoy.

Amazing!
By IfollowChrist
Chris Fabry writes beautiful, truthful stories with the love of Christ! This story started slowly but I am so glad I continued to read it. I think we can all learn about the Treah in all of us! Chris can write from his heart to ours and it is a gift. Thank you Chris Fabry.

Stories within a touching story!! Wonderful, Wonderful!!!!!!
By PJMartinthemom
Chris Fabry is one of my favorite authors so I was very excited to have the opportunity to review his book, Every Waking Moment. Tyndale House Publishers provided me with a free copy of this book to review.
It seems that Mr. Fabry is one of those authors who writes books that speak to me personally in one way or another. Every one of his books has touched me in a different way. From Borders of the Heart , which spoke to me about a calling to ESL ministry, to Almost Heaven, which spoke to the musician heart in me.
Now he has written a book that has spoken to me in my calling as a social worker who works with the elderly and disabled.
I love doing book reviews but I also do not want to spoil the book for those who will read it in the future!
This book was 5 stars!!! A nursing home is the setting with a caring lady who is preparing to leave the job she has there. She has discovered in her time working with the elderly a very unusual worker who is somewhat disabled in her own ways but who has a gift for connecting with those who have dementia or Alzheimer's and being able to bring back the person who is "lost" inside.
Of course, there had to be a "bad guy" and the new lady who takes over the nursing home had me just aching for her to do something wrong so she could be fired from the place! The character development in this book is excellent.
The main character Treha is an enigma from the beginning. She has a special connection with others but seemingly an inability to express her own emotions. She is smart and yet simple at the same time.
The residents in the nursing home love her. I loved getting to know the residents. Part of my job is visiting the elderly and disabled and hearing their stories of life is one of the favorite parts of my day. Mr. Fabry is able to combine stories within a story by giving us individual stories of the residents as a part of the whole picture. He shows how the elderly, the disabled and those who we may overlook or dismiss as "slow or simple" have their own life story as we do....if we put ourselves in the other person's shoes and listen to them share about their life, we come away from the conversation with more love, respect, and understanding.
I suggest you get this book, read it and re-read it. An awesome book! I know I did not talk a whole lot about the story but it is one of those that you really just need to read yourself and enjoy word by word, sentence by sentence. At the end you will be glad that I didn't spoil any details for you :) I tried to read it slowly, to make it last, but I just couldn't...it was that good. :)
