Publisher's Synopsis
In August 2008, television presenter Fiona Phillips quit the job she loved, after twelve years in GMTV, interviewing the most famous and influential people on the planet. She was going to devote more time to her father, Phil, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's - a year after her mother had died of the same disease. BEFORE I FORGET is an account of growing up in the 1960s and '70s within a complex family. Fiona reveals her parents' pride when she landed the job at GMTV. She describes watching them fade away as both parents succumb to Alzheimer's: one moment interviewing George Clooney, the next taking a call from Pembrokeshire Social Services to say that there was trouble at her parents' house, hundreds of miles away.
