"The stories in this anthology are moving and illuminating. I believe in the power of story to educate and demystify, to demolish fear and shame, to generate conversation and connectedness. To humanize. It is through stories like these that we begin to understand people living with Alzheimer's, and maybe—through empathy and compassion—we can heal what can't yet be cured."
—Lisa Genova, New York Times–bestselling author of Still Alice
"Alzheimer's can be isolating and terrifying, but when we share powerful stories like these, we begin to tear down the walls that keep it in the shadows. The powerful voices in this book shine a light full of humanity, heart, and healing to a disease that has affected so many."
—Lauren and Seth Rogen, Founders of Hilarity For Charity
“This anthology is terrific. It is the perfect read for those who have or have had the Alzheimer’s experience. The stories are heartfelt and real, and will make a difference in the lives of many. Another excellent piece of work from Marita Golden!”
—Goldie S. Byrd. Alzheimer's Researcher and Director, Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity, Wake Forest School of Medicine
“Here is what's so beautiful about this book: It is chock full of people sticking their necks out and telling their story. With clarity, with patience, with feeling, with faith.”
— David Shenk, cohost of the podcast The Forgetting: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer's, author of The Forgetting, and creator of the Living with Alzheimer’s Film Project
“Having lost a great grandfather to Alzheimer’s, I cannot stress enough the importance of a committed exploration of the disease. If this book were only shining light on Alzheimer’s, it would be enough but it’s more than that. It’s the fine, fine writing, full of story and beautiful language and inventiveness and wisdom. Up against Alzheimer’s is an essential read.” —Mitchell S. Jackson author of Survival Math
“A powerful collection of stories. Each one made me feel less alone against this horrible battle.”— Urban Book Reviews
