The crime wasn't just a family legend--it made headlines across Canada in 1913--but her killer had never been found. In THE END OF HER, Hoffman meticulously researches this century-old tragedy, while facing another: his mother's decline from Alzheimer's. Weaving back and forth between past and present, Hoffman invokes in dramatic detail the life and death of his immigrant great- grandmother in Winnipeg, and his mother's downward spiral. In the process, he discovers an extended family that has been scattered across thousands of miles for a hundred years."--Back cover 520 "Journalist Hoffman (Hard and two other novels) makes his nonfiction debut with a riveting account of his dual efforts to care for his aging mother and crack a century- old unsolved murder ... Hoffman makes the details of his dogged research vivid ... and his conclusions about the murder are convincing. Meanwhile, he movingly recounts his mother's increasing memory loss and overall decline. This is a unique addition to the cold case subgenre, and a powerful mix of true crime and family memoir."--Publishers Weekly 600 10 Feinstein, Sarah,|d1887-1913. 600 10 Feinstein, Sarah,|d1887-1913|xDeath and burial. 600 10 Hoffman, Susan,|d1940?- 650 0 Murder|xInvestigation|zManitoba|zWinnipeg. 650 0 Cold cases (Criminal investigation)|zManitoba|zWinnipeg. 650 0 Alzheimer's disease|xPatients. 650 7 Alzheimer's disease|xPatients.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00806557 650 7 Cold cases (Criminal investigation)|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01736451 650 7 Murder|xInvestigation.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01029788 651 7 Manitoba|zWinnipeg.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01205803 994 C0|bWHP
