Overview
Alzheimer's and a Life of Love is a memoir telling Ruth Lee Miller's journey with Alzheimer's. First time author, Bobbi Wheatley wants her readers to see that Ruth is not defined by this horrible disease. In Alzheimer's and a Life of Love, the author, Bobbi Wheatley "shares her struggles with deep matters of honesty, integrity, identify, loyalty, and accountability. We read of the ways she tries to address these matters in tangible ways, sometimes succeeding, occasionally failing, and always learning. Told in an engaging pattern of recent history alternating with flashbacks, Bobbi holds and shares her mother's memories. At the same time, she tells the story of her work to do what is best, even as those memories fade. Through this pattern, the reader discovers the threads of memory which weave our identity.....Caregivers will find ways of supporting both the care receiver and their family members.....Bobbi does not hold back the painful truth. But this book is not without hope and is indeed filled with humor......You will find yourself smiling through tears at these stories of courage, quiet strength, and above all, love." -- George C.Hoope
