FOR FAMILIES TOUCHED BY ALZHEIMER’S
INSPIRING STORIES OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND SUPPORT
Edited by Colleen Sell

WHAT’S THE STORY?
There are more than 4 million people in the U.S. with Alzheimer’s and that number is expected to increase to 7.7 million by 2025 (Alzheimer’s Disease International). A devasting disease, Alzheimer’s can change a loved one into a stranger as it steals memories, motor skills and more.
A Cup of Comfort for Families Touched by Alzheimer’s: Inspiring Stories of Unconditional Love and Support (October 14, 2008; Adams Media) edited by Colleen Sell is a collection of more than forty personal accounts from husbands, wives, daughters and sons who put their needs to asideto help their loved ones wrestle Alzheimer’s with unwavering support.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOUR AUDIENCE?
A Cup of Comfort for Families Touched by Alzheimer’s—just in time for National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month—helps readers know they are not alone. Though Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life, it cannot destroy love. Anne’s mom was never at a loss for words until Alzheimer’s made it difficult for her to form sentences and Renea was the apple of her father’s eyes until the disease put their dog Lucy at the forefront of his memory. Despite the recognition fading from their loved ones eyes, each writer rejoices in those moments of clarity where their mothers, fathers, husbands and wives became the people they once were. Heart wrenching and inspiring, A Cup of Comfort for families Touched by Alzheimer’s shows that nothing can alter the strength and love that make up a family—not even Alzheimer’s.
