THis is a very good true story written by a daughter, who is awfully smart, a nurse, and boy can she write well! I really enjoyed it..as her dear mother, a rather dependent lady, descended into senility with Alzheimers..very informative book as well.It was well worth buying to get to hear her touching journey, to stand by her mama til she passed away...she even shares several pictures, even one right when she passed away, to show you how cruel the disease, Alzheimers is. This is a great book..
