| Publisher Description: Embracing the Moment: An Alzheimer's Memoir challenges a daughter's responsibilities in the care for her mother. The author, a journal-writing instructor uses her writing style to captivate the audience with various writing techniques unlike any other books. It's poignantly written and accounts for the various stages of the illness such as odd behaviors, forgetting the names of loved ones and the experience of pre-death grief. Relentless love and devotion between mother and daughter is breathtaking. As a professional photographer, the daughter captures raw emotions with her black and white photographs that illustrate expressions of love and sadness profiling the debilitating disease of Alzheimer's. The author writes how the depths of both she and her mother are intertwined with challenges, but at the same time the bittersweet story tells us how one conquers this human experience. This book will help any caregiver to make informed decisions. |
