Book Review: A gift
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this book for a friend whose husband is in the throws of a degenerataive dementia journey. She had heard of this book and wanted a copy. I told her I could get it through Amazon.com. She has just begun to read it but she knows it will be a constant handbook for her, suggesting ways to cope with her husband's impending journey into this frightening world and it will give her words of encouragement and suggestions for his saftey and her sanity.
