"Gentle and validating to read for one with similar experience - not a how-to" according to courteousneighbor. I enjoyed the book. Buying it was the first time I had downloaded a book by an author who is not somewhat 'famous'. Having bought many books and attended many trainings on handling dementia, I am now wary of books that will only depress me about the stages yet to come in my mother's Alzheimer's Disease. This was not depressing, rather, it was uplifting to read about another caregiver's story of coping with the litany of losses yet retaining her love and r. Just a great book. This is my own personal feelings about this book. My mom has Alzheimer's and I have been trying to read as much about the disease as I can.

The book outlines the stages of Alzheimer's through real life experiences, many of which I can relate too. I found Celia's strength remarkable and the photos just breath-taking! I hope I can sustain the patience and understand
