Alzheimer's is a memory-robbing, debilitating disease that
affects millions of Americans. For most families, having just one
member afflicted with Alzheimer's disease can be devastating. In
her poignant memoir, Cynthia Young shares her story of love and
devotion as she learns how to care for four family members stricken
with Alzheimer's disease over a ten-year period.
Young narrates a journey filled with laughter, challenges, and
sorrow as she commutes from California to Michigan to care for her
mother, two aunts, and a cousin. She provides insight into how the
disease progresses and gradually destroys the memory and abilities
to learn, reason, make sound judgments, communicate, and carry out
daily activities. While sharing her personal story and detailing
how she overcame each obstacle along the way, Young also teaches
other caregivers how to use valuable resources, navigate the court
system as a guardian and conservator, handle the Alzheimer's
personality, and search for an assisted-living facility.
Memoirs of a Caregiver shares one woman's inspiring story of
unconditional love and courage with the hope that it will encourage
and empower other caregivers to be diligent, strong, and, most
importantly, to never give up.
A portion of the proceeds from this book will be directed to the
Alzheimer's Association.
