This is an excellent book, well written and so informative. It not only tells the story from the point of view of the patient, but from the caregivers as well, and how frustrating it is to cope with this situation. Trying to find a place for them when you can no longer care for them,makes you die a little inside. Anywone who is dealing with this situation, this is an excellent resource.
