About the Book

One day your loved one begins forgetting things and you realize that it is more than normal aging. Your life is changed as you face a tumultuous life journey, a Detour Down Desperation Road. You don't know where to go or what to do. Dr. Ann's stories place you into the emotional and physical pressures on loving people who are desperate to learn how to help. Experience the uncertainty, angst, and triumph as they alter their lives and draw on extraordinary intuition and strength and tackle problems, invent coping skills, and honor loved ones who slide deeper into dementia. Meet Ann's strong, determined, entrepreneurial mother, known as 'the hardware lady, ' as she hoards, obsesses, and persists while dementia slowly claims her brain. Ann's inner guides, emotional Ann and rational Ann, whisper contradictory advice. Her love of her mother steers her to emotional resolutions. When all else fails, she must rely on rational decisions. She finds solace with support group members and others whose trials and solutions change daily as loved ones slip deeper into a condition for which there is no cure. Their gripping stories reveal feelings seldom shared by caregivers. Experience their frustrations and joys as they travel through the physical and emotional realities of the Detour Down Desperation Road. You will learn, laugh, cry, and be amazed by their insights and ingenuity.
About the Author: Ann Renigar Hiatt holds a Ph.D. degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Human Development and Family Studies. She served as faculty while completing her graduate research and dissertation. She focused on identifying and understanding time-use behaviors and strategies of employed, married women with families who were handling multiple role demands. Later, she was an assistant professor in the Department of Human Services at UNC Charlotte before living and traveling in Asia and Europe. In Singapore, she interviewed Philippine women who left their families and worked as nannies and housekeepers to earn money to send home for their children. After returning, she became immersed in a stressful but necessary journey with her widowed mother who was diagnosed with vascular dementia. For the last twenty years, Ann has interviewed, documented, and written about the physical and emotional highs and lows of kind, caring people called caregivers. Her stories are crafted to entertain and educate readers and, hopefully, promote awareness and understanding of tragic, mental degenerative diseases. Ann and her husband live on Lake Norman in North Carolina. Detour Down Desperation Road is her first non-fiction book. She enjoys speaking to groups and hearing their stories. You may contact her at www.annhiatt.com. Please leave your name and contact information and she will inform you of her forthcoming book and upcoming events.
