Det er en helt vanlig kveld på Viljas studenthybel da moren ringer. Samtalen blir derimot alt annet enn vanlig. Moren snakker forvirret og usammenhengende. Har hun drukket? Det pleier hun ikke. Skremt tar Vilja affære, og moren blir lagt inn på det lokale sykehuset. Da Vilja ankommer, kan legen fortelle at moren er rammet av akutt hjernesykdom. Jeg skal ta vare på deg er en roman om livets brå omveltninger - en fortelling om en datter som må ta ansvar for morens framtid så vel som sin egen, og de dilemmaer det medfører. Men også historien om en splittet familie som forsøker å vokse sammen omkring noe nytt. Gunn Marit Nisja skriver lavmælt og fint om vanlige menneskers liv og drømmer.
