Wonderful Book!
I'm a caregiver and found this book at a client's home. It is outstanding! The author writes from her personal experience of having a husband with developing Alzheimer's and raising four children. The book is rich with insights and examples for the caregiver. I have given this book to family members of Alzheimer's client's I have. LOVE THIS BOOK!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
