Product Description
“There are many books written about Alzheimer’s disease. The concise nature and easy readability of this book will make it an effective tool for family members with a parent who has dementia. The upbeat nature and ‘Tips’ section at the end of each chapter helps the book read in much the same way that a supportive conversation with a friend would be to the reader. I heartily recommend this book to the adult children of my patients with Alzheimer’s disease.”—
Kevin R. Smith, MD, assistant professor of psychiatry, director of Geriatric Psychiatry Clinic, Oregon Health & Sciences University, Portland

Reader ReviewsIf you even suspect that your parent is beginning to loose her/his memory, I recommend that you read this book. This well written, easy to read book makes one feel that we are not alone in dealing with this emotionally exhausting elderly care issue. Hopefully, in the next year or two, medication will become available to slow or stop this devastating disease. Until then, I suggest you read Anne's book and have it there to read again as you go through your own unforgettable journey.
