"""I think your book is amazing and right on point. I expected it to be a bit different, but it's just how I think a book should be written from the caregiver's point of view--its effect on them. I especially enjoyed it because I knew so much about it.""--Kristin Einberger, Consultant for Early Memory Loss ""I have read your manuscript; in fact, I found it so interesting that I completed it in just a few days. After reading your accounts of how you felt at various times and occasions, I could relate to that so many times. It was very interesting to hear how you coped with situations as they arose. I have been reading many blogs online about caregiving, and they are typically about caring for parents or other relatives--not so much about spouses. I must say that it is very different. I appreciate your candor and honesty."" --Karin Wasell, caregiver for her husband with Alzheimer's ""Amazing story of love, persistence, stamina, and a complex array of emotions across the points of tension that characterize the dramatic change in the anatomy of a relationship. An excellent read, written by an honest and skillful reporter/storyteller."" --Helen McDermott, family caregiver"
