I wanted to read this story because I am one of the caregivers for my Grandma who has dementia. I could really relate to this story. It isn't just a touching read, it is also a teaching tool. I recommend this book to anyone who has a friend of family member suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's. This beautiful story will show you that you are not alone in your struggles. Indeed the pages are filled with a roller coaster of emotions - happiness, sadness, regret, and hope. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"'In the world of Alzheimer's memoirs, a rarity-- not, strictly speaking, a 'happy ending,' but a different tale from the usual bleak, grinding, downward spiral into unalloyed misery'"--Cover p. 4.
This book tells the powerful 30-year love story of a young American woman and a delightfully colorful, wickedly eccentric Romanian gentleman and scholar, interspersed with advice and inspiration for Alzheimer's caregivers everywhere. In addition to being a compelling love story, this award-winning memoir shows how one woman solved several specific problems that typically arise when caring for a person with dementia.

The relationship she had with Ed, her life partner, is shared with us and we soon come to realize that this is a loving relationship. Her commitment to him as he progresses through the different stages of Alzheimers never wavers which is amazing. She also had to change as she learned new ways to deal with him.
I feel this book could be used as a guide in dealing with dementia/Alzheimers patients. It's that good!! ( )
