The story of one man's attempt to understand Alzheimer's disease as its progression slowly changed the personality of his mother. This is the hillariously funny, and often heart-breakingly sad story of a family's fight against dementia. A tale of love, joy, humanity and despair that will make you want to laugh and cry at the same time. This true story is full of wonderful characters, the Whistling Woman, who never said a word, Captain John, who thought he lived on a boat, the little man in the red bandana who had just had his brain cleaned, the Irish Band that lived in the house, and of course, the Little Girl in the Radiator, whose special secret was the key to the whole mystery. Over 25 million people in the world have dementia, and if each one has only three other family members who try to take care of them, then over 100 million people are directly or indirectly affected by a disease no-one fully understands. This book is for anyone who has an elderly relative.
