I would recommend this book to those who wish a deeper insight into the wider but also detailed aspects of this tragic disease.”

-Rick H.
”Everyone who has a friend or family member with Alzheimer’s in a nursing home should read this book. It provides a close look at the challenges faced not only by the people who suffer from Alzheimer’s but also, just as importantly, by the people who care about them.”
