- **Event Name**: Grief, Caregiving, and Pink Cloud Moments with Author Peggy Sweeney-McDonald
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Author, actress, speaker, and creator of the Life in the A-Zone podcast, Peggy Sweeney-McDonald announces the release of her poignant new memoir, Life in the A-Zone: How I Embraced the Journey with My Mother’s Alzheimer’s—One Pink Cloud Moment at a Time. Join Sweeney-McDonald at the Main Library at Goodwood on Saturday, January 17 at 3 p.m. for her Life in the A-Zone launch event. She will share excerpts from her book, behind-the-scene stories, reflections on caregiving, creativity, and unexpected moments of hope. Attendees are invited to participate
in a Q &amp; A session and book signing. 

The memoir chronicles her deeply personal experience of moving back home to Baton Rouge after 36 years to help care for her mother during her Alzheimer’s journey. Blending honesty, humor, grief, family resilience, and the beauty of Louisiana culture, Sweeney-McDonald offers readers a compassionate and relatable window into the emotional complexities of caregiving—the “A-Zone” as she named it. Drawing from stories first shared on her acclaimed podcast, Life in the A-Zone invites readers to notice the “pink cloud moments”—the brief flashes of grace, connection,
and meaning that can appear even in the midst of profound loss.

Journal designer Jackie Begue will join Sweeney-McDonald at the Library on February 10 and March 17 to lead Pink Cloud Workshops to support caregivers through hands-on journaling activities.
