Finally, I have published my book - six years in
the making along with fourteen years of care giving. It’s published on
Kindle. Later there will be a hard copy but for now it's readable as an e-book. This
has been a creative endeavor of love and passion but also darned hard work. I had a fantastic editor, Kristi Graham, who could see the forest for the trees.
I designed the cover to convey life as we knew it crumbling around us.
I hope the book will be a good read as well as helpful to other care givers. Here's a summary of the story:
Susan and Bob felt they were living their dream life. They lived in
Bali, had a growing business
together, they traveled and they were still very much in love even after
fourteen years of marriage. When Alzheimer’s hijacked their lives, Susan vowed
to give Bob the best life possible.
Written honestly and vividly, Piece by Piece: Love in the Land of
Alzheimer’s tells a caregiver’s story of facing the emotional, physical and
every day challenges inherent in caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s
Disease for fourteen years. Susan shares the practical lessons and techniques
learned along the way to help other caregiver’s in their journey with
Alzheimer’s.
This is also a story of following one’s dreams, travel, adventure, and finding
humor and insights in life’s challenges. Above all, this is a story of enduring
love.
