"For the decade of my father's illness, I felt as if I was floating
in the deep end, tossed by waves, carried by currents but not
drowning." In a singular account of battling Alzheimer's, Patti
Davis eloquently weaves personal anecdotes with practical advice
tailored specifically for the overlooked caregiver. After losing
her father, Ronald Reagan, Davis founded a support group for family
members and friends of Alzheimer's patients; drawing on those
years, Davis reveals the surprising struggles and gifts of this
cruel disease. From the challenges of navigating disorientation to
the moments when guilt and resentments creep in, readers are guided
gently through slow-burning grief. Along the way, Davis shares how
her own fractured family came together and how her father revealed
his true self-always kind, even when he couldn't recognise his own
daughter. The result is an achingly beautiful work on the fragile
human condition from a profoundly wise and empathetic writer.
