This was a great book. I liked the way it was written in the first person, so the readers could see what is going on in the mind of the Alzheimer patient themselves. Having dealt with a lot of patients with this condition, it was very true-to-life.
Hopefully, this book will make it easier for family members and other caregivers to understand the person and be more comforting and less frustrated.
It is a disease that literally steals a person's mind.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has aging relatives, as 'you never know' what is in the future for any of us.
