Publisher's Synopsis
Clear some space in your heart for Alzheimer's: A Mother Daughter Journey, a photojournalistic memoir about the journey of a daughter who embraces the role of caregiver to her mother. At first ambushed by the demands of caregiving, Celia anchors herself by developing a series of compassionate mission statements to meet each phase of the disease, remaking her initial anguish into a blend of marketing, Zen Buddhism, and salsa dancing. But, deep down, what gives her the most strength is her ability to love. The deeper she pulls into love, the stronger she becomes. This entertaining and inspiring book is really a story about finding one's purpose when faced with a life-altering responsibility. In a call to action to all caregivers, Alzheimer's: A Mother Daughter Journey reminds us that learning to live in the moment can be the gift and the profound comfort that you'll receive from this journey - be it for one day, one month or several years. It is one woman's journey, but everyone's story.
