I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It reminded me of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series as well as those what to expect when you're expecting novels for new parents, except the focus here is on people living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. Fayron Epps, Assistant Professor, NHCGNE Distinguished Educator in Gerontological Nursing, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Emory University, Atlanta The author paints such beautiful personal stories and ties it all together so well with the concepts she is conveying. She knows the challenges of being an Alzheimer's caregiver. It would be a beautiful resource to those tackling this difficult struggle. I can see it even being utilized as a companion resource for Alzheimer's support groups. Robert M. Brouillette, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Institute for Dementia Research and Prevention, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge [Dana] takes a complicated, detailed topic of Alzheimer's, and humbly teaches us that through a more simplistic viewpoint profound lessons can be learned. Dana can make you laugh and she can make you cry, but above all she will prepare you to confront dementia head on, and you'll be the better for it. Read on, and share what you discover. From the Foreword by Jack York, Co-Founder of iN2L - It's Never Too Late (edit)
