A Conversation About Alzheimer's

About the Book

A Conversation About Alzheimer’s paints for the reader a poignant picture of love, hope, loss, and finally survival.  The only daughter of a man tragically stricken with Alzheimer’s, Michele tenderly, and oftentimes painfully, walks us through her daily struggles, frustrations, and sorrow as she seeks to understand the disease that has taken hold of the man she lovingly calls Dad.  Michele takes us along on her journey of discovery as she works with doctors and her family to not only understand Alzheimer’s, but to cope with the effects on an entire family victimized by this unrelenting disease.  A Conversation About Alzheimer’s hopes to educate others who may watch a loved one become a stranger, to comfort them as they learn that they are not alone, and to give strength when perhaps they feel they have no more.
