'In this brutally honest and intensely personal diary account, June Lund Shiplett openly shares her emotional turmoil which ranges from bitterness, anger, self-pity, defeat, and despair to strength, tenderness, humor, love, and deep friendship. This book offers both family caregivers and professionals vivid examples of the effects of dementing illness and the comforting realization they are not alone with the emotions that this illness can generate.'
