Like many children of Alzheimer's sufferers, Lauren Kessler, an accomplished journalist, was devastated by the disease that seemed to erase her mother's identity even before claiming her life. But suppose people with Alzheimer's are not slates wiped blank. Suppose they experience friendship and loss, romance and jealousy, joy and sorrow? To better understand this debilitating condition, Kessler enlists as a bottom-of-the-rung caregiver at an Alzheimer's facility and learns lessons that challenge what we think we know about the disease. A compelling, clear-eyed, and emotionally resonant narrative, \u003ci\u003eFinding Life in the Land of Alzheimer's\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new optimistic look at what the disease can teach us and a much-needed tonic for those faced with providing care for someone they love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreviously published as \u003ci\u003eDancing With Rose.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380315029759,"sku":"9780143113683","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143113683_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307546","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780143113683","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
