It is a rare pleasure to truly feel the deep compassion and love exuding from the stories in this account of the tragedy faced during trials of compassion. Reality can be inspiring while terrifying, and this book captures a personal experience of perserverence that exemplifies the ideal of love and the ability for love to transcend circumstance. Anyone who wants to gain a clear perspective on Alzheimer's Syndrome and the inspiration necessary to thrive through the adversities it presents, read this book and take heart, you possess the strength. Thanks to the author for this honest and meaningful book.

Highly Personal Story both enlightening and heart-breaking July 23, 1998
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This touching collection of letters details a daughter's thoughts, feelings, and experience as she faced the physical and intellectual losses caused by her mother's Alzheimer's Disease. The story is told thru a collection of letters to the author's aunt about her mother's condition over a period of five years. The book gives insights into how Alzheimer's affects families and chronicles the progress of the disease. I found this highly personal story enlightening as well as heart-breaking. Recommended for families of Alzheimer's patients.
