Description: Alzheimer's Anthology of Unconditional Love is a collection of thirty-seven true stories about Missourians who have embarked upon a journey into an unchartered world toward a future different than the one envisioned. The stories capture the effect Alzheimer's has on caregivers, sons, daughters, in-laws, friends, children, grandchildren, and healthcare workers. The collection contains two stories from persons diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. The writers range from a Pulitzer Prize nominee to unpublished authors. In addition to the heartwarming stories, the book contains Alzheimer's information and several articles.
Notes: L. S. Fisher has donated all proceeds from the book to the Alzheimer's Association.
