Sacramento Book Review: "If you are a fan of long goodbyes and movies such as The Notebook, or if you have had to care for an elderly parent, this is exactly what you are looking for."
Cybergwen: "Julita's Sands is in the running for my favorite memoir of the year, if not my favorite book. Emily Placido has written a beautiful tribute to her mom, Julita, by sharing the story of her dementia and her experiences in taking care of her as she aged. It is a love story of a child rediscovering her mother as a person and giving back for all of the things that she did for her."
