Valerie smiles pleasantly at the woman in front of her, but she has no idea it's Sara-her loving, devoted daughter.
In this heartrending but ultimately inspirational memoir about caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's, Sara Littlejohn offers an authentic, unflinching look at what life means as a family member and caregiver for someone affected by this disease.
With simple honesty and openness, Littlejohn discusses the day-to-day realities of Alzheimer's and the hard decisions that come with them-like taking away car keys and struggling to know when it's time for full-time care.
Littlejohn's story is one of faith, family, and healing. It's a beautiful and vibrantly drawn portrait of her mother and a testament to the strength of the family unit she was so integral in shaping.
Littlejohn's memoir serves as both an informational guide and a source of hope and encouragement for those learning how they, too, will live in the storm that Alzheimer's brings.
