Kate lost her mother when she was 13 years old, only nobody seemed to notice but Kate. Two decades later, an autopsy determined her cause of death was frontotemporal dementia, the most common form of dementia in people under 60. Some cases of the disease are caused by a rare, genetic mutation. In Like Mother, Like Daughter, a mystery unravels in which each trauma and memory acts as a clue to determine what we really share with our parents.
