Thanks, lastpointe.  I checked with our public library, they do not have it yet.  I will keep checking.  At this point no family members with Alzeimers that I know of, but sounds like an interesting read.  I think I saw this woman/book on Oprah once.

Good read. kind of scary with me being early 50s. I liked it.

Have you seen the movie Away from Her?  Also about Alzeimers and brillaint, at least I thought so...

I loved Away From Her!  It reminded me of my parents. Also made me want to try cross country skiing.

gaaaiagirl-not to the movie but I also read "Away from her".

I enjoyed it. Life does get SO complicated sometimes!

I also just finished reading Still Alice.  It was a good, fast read that I demolished in a day.  I have some experience with Alzeimers having worked in a retirement home for several years, but this story was a great insight into what the family all has to go through.  Although I had difficulty relating to and approving of his emotions, I really appreciated the character of her troubled and distanced husband.

Thanks for suggesting this, lastpointe.

My mom had alzeimers and reading this I could see how she might have thought.  Happy to see us and knowing we are related but puzzled too.

Sounds like a good book - I'd like to read it.
