Alzheimer's is a family disease, and A Long and Winding Road is a love story-not a boy-meets-girl love story, but a family love story: The story of the love of a daughter for her parents and her willingness to take them into her home when they could no longer care for themselves; The story of a mother and father who loved their daughter but no longer remembered exactly where they were or why; The story of a husband who loved his wife so much that he stood beside her as they fought to survive the ravages of the brain-wasting disease that was stealing her loved ones away a piece at a time.

Produktbeschreibung
Alzheimer's is a family disease, and A Long and Winding Road is a love story-not a boy-meets-girl love story, but a family love story: The story of the love of a daughter for her parents and her willingness to take them into her home when they could no longer care for themselves; The story of a mother and father who loved their daughter but no longer remembered exactly where they were or why; The story of a husband who loved his wife so much that he stood beside her as they fought to survive the ravages of the brain-wasting disease that was stealing her loved ones away a piece at a time. It's also the story of a seven-week trip for four across sixteen U.S. states in a forty-foot motor home-a trip that involved stopped up toilets, wet jeans, laughter, and headaches that were far from the easygoing retirement the Brendles had imagined for themselves. Linda Brendle takes you on a roller-coaster ride of emotional and spiritual challenges that many families are facing right now. Co-dependency, mental breakdowns, and finding love after divorce are just a few of the issues weaved into this journey of caregiving. A LONG AND WINDING ROAD: A Caregiver's Tale of Life, Love, and Chaos is the story of the chaos that happens when four people, two of whom have Alzheimer's, spend fifty-three days in a 400-square-foot box on wheels.
Autorenporträt
Linda Brendle, a multi-genre Christian author, first began to write during her years as a caregiver. After two memoirs about Alzheimer's caregiving - A Long and Winding Road and Mom's Long Good-Bye - she ventured into the world of fiction. She has published a three-novel romantic suspense series, Tatia's Tattoo, Fallen Angel Salvage, and Salvaged. She has also published a light-hearted journal titled Kitty's Story about the feral cat who took over that Brendle household several years ago. Retired from the business world, Linda now blogs and writes for the weekly newspaper in the tiny East Texas town where she and her husband David live and take care of the needs and demands of Kitty.
