In Rookie on the Battlefield, Paulette Rubick Johnson explores life and its many ironies, from parenthood and the perils of dating to the grief of losing loved ones before their time. Through a series of short essays, she walks us through more than two decades of everyday experiences-our experiences-with wry humor, unflinching honesty, and spot-on commentary. It is a story about donning the armor and facing life head-on, even when you are unsure or afraid, not because you want to, but because that is what life demands. Different paths, different struggles, but all of us amateurs, doing the best we can.

After living in Southern California for 20 years, the author returned home to upstate New York to watch over his mother who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He and his brother did everything they could to keep her in familiar surroundings at home and avoid assisted living. They were successful until June 2009, two weeks short of her 80th birthday. "Alzheimer's Moments" documents her life, particularly those poignant and sometimes humorous experiences that occurred along the way, and the challenges of being a primary caregiver. Anyone who has found themselves in the caregiving role to an elderly person will be able to relate to these triumphs and frustrations. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always earnest, this is a first-hand account of what it's like to live with someone progressing through the stages of Alzheimer's disease.
