Review # 1 was written on 2015-12-17 00:00:00 Ajay Challa The heroine of this novel is a full-time caregiver for her mother, who has Alzheimer's. It was touted as funny, but I couldn't laugh at the story of my worst nightmare. I think caregivers will read this and nod their heads and hopefully appreciate the acknowledgement of their completely desperate situation. The story itself was interesting, just the story of a family and their relationships with each other, spouses and exes. The illness and caregiving were just part of the larger family story. I found myself thinking about the characters all the time, and I wanted more when it was over. I really wanted to know what happened after the end.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-30 00:00:00 Tommy Pitts Nightmare of Alzheimer's I can relate so closely with Jeanne. My mother is a victim of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I am her caregiver, but unlike Jeanne one of my brothers helps. It is strange how the more you need people the more they desert you. There is no life beyond care-giving. Just the simple act of grocery shopping becomes a mini vacation. My mother is 96 and medically she is in better shape than I, but I intend to care for her as long as possible.
