Eye-opening story about the incredible struggle dealing with Alzheimer's disease - for not only the care-givers but the patients as well. This character will stay with me for awhile, I'm sure.

Very well written. The character's decline into dementia was subtle and alarming. Very good book.

Amazing book. Many thoughts and emotions to digest. A must read for people who are touched by Alzheimers.
