Before I Forget: Love, Hope, Help, and Acceptance in… de B. Smith

memoir/coping with alzheimer's (mostly from husband's POV). very readable and great for boosting awareness of this common disease (treatment of which could be well in grasp if only for more awareness and funding).
This is a personal account of dealing with Alzheimer’s disease. The husband writes most of the book with some small sections written by B. Smith, who is afflicted with the disease. The book provides much insight into the caregiving required and the symptoms of the disease. Dan also discusses some about research in the area.

This book really opened my eyes to Alzheimer's and how it affects the families and the person who suffers from it. I am also shocked at how many people have it and how little there is to help slow the process down. Much more needs to be done for those with this disease.
I won this on Read It Forward.
