"Myrna Marofsky's starkly honest-and beautifully loving-account of caring for her husband through Alzheimer's will no doubt help others walking this challenging path." -Tia Newcomer, CEO of CaringBridge A heartfelt memoir of loving someone with dementia.

Allen Power, MD, geriatrician and author of Dementia Beyond Disease
