Reader ReviewsWe all live afraid of Alzheimer's--afraid that one day we will lose our mind to the disease or perhaps worse, that one we love will be afflicted. Caroline Court has written an achingly honest story of one woman's affliction and its devastating impact on the lives of those around her. Anyone who has ever cared for someone in a nursing home will immediately recognize the terrible dilemmas and compromises imposed by nursing care. A lively read, clever, and above all else, thought-provoking. This story will stay with you long after you close the cover on the last page.
