The Caregiver: A Life with Alzheimer's

First published in 1999, this book by Aaron Alterrra, a pseudonym for E.S. Goldman, an award winning fiction writer who publishes frequently in the Atlantic, recounts the caregiver's experience.

From the point of view of both a husband and a writer, the book is an eloquent depiction of the early uncertainly and denial which takes place before diagnosis to the transition to the the disabilities and indignities often inflicted on the person with Alzheimer's.
