Summary: A Must Read for Caregivers
Review: I laughed and cried -- and felt understood. This is a great book, written by someone with overwhelming compassion and a great sense of humor. Her examples and openness are extraordinary. And her succinct tips are invaluable. I'm recommending it to anyone I know over 30.

Summary: Laughter through the tears.
Review: As a nursing home volunteer, I thought I'd just buy this book and do a little homework on the subject of Alzheimer's.

Little did I know that I wouldn't be able to put it down. What an incredible story! And what an incredible story-teller!

Everyone should read this book, not only those in direct contact with an Alzheimer's patient. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. But most of all, it will make you understand! And care. And empathize. The next time you DO run into someone with Alzheimer's you will be ready, and you will be surprised how heart-warming that experience can be.

Thank you, Jacqueline, for the wonderful gift you've given us.

Summary: A Must Read for all adult children of aging parents
Review: You will laugh, cry, and identify with the Author as you read her book about parents with dementia. I learned so much from reading this book. It was recommended to me and I now recommend it to you. You will be glad you read this book. I now understand more fully what my Mom is going through. I feel better equipped to deal with this sad situation. You might consider giving this book to your adult children as you probably will be in the same situation yourself one day.
