First let me say that Patti and Ray Grose are close friends. My wife and I have known them for over twenty years and we can say that Patti has written openly and honestly about who she is and how caring for a relative with Alzheimer's has affected her life.

In this, her first book, she writes with the clarity and flow of an accomplished author. Her style is straightforward and clear. Her first-person account of being her mother-in-law's primary caregiver is compelling. It is a fast read and, surprisingly, a page-turner. I was moved by the openness and vulnerability that Patti displayed in her description of events. I was touched by the deep love and heartfelt care she showed her mother-in-law, especially during very difficult times. I was inspired by her determination to do everything possible to assure the health and well being of her husband's mother.

This book was an eye-opener. It was the first time I became aware of the level of difficulty that a family faces when dealing with a loved one who develops Alzheimer's. I found the book so helpful in understanding the toll that Alzheimer's takes on the patient's family. Patti even wrote out a list of helpful hints at the end of the book. On another level the book exposed me to the denial I experienced in not understanding what our good friends were going through, why they were not available for meetings, for social events.

In my opinion, this book is a must-read for any family or caregiver associated with an Alzheimer's patient. In her preface Patti is clear about her goal, "Hopefully, it will bring a message of understanding, hope and worthy advice to the reader." She accomplishes that mission.

This was written with the average american in mind. It was easy to understand and provided many specific experiences in detail. Technical in areas and humerous throughout, this is a must for anyone struggling to deal with Alzheimer's in the family. Thumbs up!
