Love in the Land of Dementia: Finding Hope in the Caregiver's Journey by Deborah Shouse (Deborah Shouse)
The hard lessons the author learned while taking care of her parents as her mother died slowly from Alzheimer's and her father died unexpectedly during the process are presented compassionately and lyrically. The book contains a great spiritual message as well as practical support for caregivers and other family members. Author is an internationally sought-after speaker and workshop presenter on this topic. Self-published edition raised $80,000 for Alzheimer's charities. With Baby Boomers aging this topic is timely and relevant to a huge audience. Release date will coincide with both National Caregivers' Month and Alzheimer's Awareness Month. Author is an accomplished self-marketer through her Creativity Connection website, which promotes her and her partner's (Ron Zoglin) work through presentations, keynotes, and workshops.
