At the time this book was written, the youngest person recorded with Alzheimer's Disease was 28 years old. Since I learned about Alzheimer's with my maternal grandmother suffering from and succumbing to the disease in the 1980's, the ages of Alzheimer's patients have been steadily becoming younger and younger. In my mother's memory care unit was an educator who died of early onset Alzheimer's at the age of 53. There is a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's every 67 seconds and it is estimated that one in every three people in the United States will have Alzheimer's by the age of 85. This disease lasts from 2 - 25 years. If this trend continues then every family in this country will be visited by Alzheimer's and the affects on caregivers will also affect this nation. This book is both a personal story of a decade-long journey of caregiving as well as a call to arms for funding and research of this terminal disease.
