Esther Strauss Smoller, Kathleen O'Brien
Synopsis
The power of photography is revealed in this book of 4 photo essays about families who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease (AD). As the author makes clear in pictures and narrative. it is families and not just the Alzheimer's victim who experience the anxiety, fear, denial, uncertainty, pain and myriad losses that go hand-in-hand with AD. This book whose proceeds go to the St. Louis Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, should be appreciated by professionals and families alike. The sights and sounds of AD speak to all of us. |
